Mark Power “Good Morning America” 2018 / Magnum Photos

We invite students of our faculty to an online lecture by Marek Power - a valued photographer, member of the prestigious Magnum Photos agency. The lecture will take place this Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at 12.00 on ZOOM.

Mark Power will talk about the project "Melody of two songs" (2004-2009), which he implemented in our country. He looked at Poland from the position of an external observer. He documented forgotten places of the second and third category, which made up a fascinating picture of a country far from postcards. During the lecture Mark Power will also talk about his latest project "Good Morning, America" which he is now working on.

After the lecture Q&A will take place and the artist will answer our students’ questions.
