Rethinking Eastern Europe

The artist collective Rethinking Eastern Europe has been invited to participate in the eleventh edition of Photo London in its new location at Olympia in Kensington. The curated presentation provides a cross-section of creative approaches to documenting political and cultural transition based on individual and shared narratives.

Curator Zula Rabikowska remarks on the group’s objectives:

“At a time of ongoing socio-political shifts, it is vital to create space for artists who operate across both real and imagined borders. Rethinking Eastern Europe pushes back against reductive views of the region as a single, unified entity, instead emphasising its layered complexity and diversity, and enabling new, self-defined narratives to take shape.” The showcase of photographic works by 12 artists ties in with the fair’s focused selection of Central and Eastern European galleries and highlights the region’s diversity and ongoing transformation with contemporary works that reflect how identities are shaped, negotiated and reclaimed across borders.

Slavic mythology and Eastern European rituals also inform the practice of Marcelina Amelia who participates with solo works and as part of Grupa Łono together with Marta Borkowska.
