A copy of the photo "Stop Calling Me Murzyn" by our lecturer prof. Rafał Milach is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
The photo shows the activist Bianka Nwolisa (10) with the banner "Stop Calling Me Murzyn". The photo was taken in June 2020 during a protest at the US Embassy against police brutality against African-American communities, triggered by the death of George Floyd. Photography sparked a heated debate in both traditional and social media.

Gallery Galeria pusta cd. invites to the opening of the exhibition entitled "The city is not a natural environment for humans" by Bartosz Gaczyński - a first-year student of Cinematography at the Kieslowski Film School in Katowice. The online openibg of the exhibition will take place on March 31 at 6.00 p.m. on the MS Teams platform.
The city is not a natural environment for humans
Presented series of photographs were made between 2018-2021. The leitmotif was to inscribe a man into the glass, concrete and steel space of the city. At first I thought I was looking at a man in the city. Street photography? With time, I began to notice that in my big-city observations, a person loses subjectivity. It becomes an empty form, which is a condition for a successful composition. For a long time I was afraid of color. These photographs are a record of several of my observations, places and reflections on light, shadow, composition and subjectivity of the people I pass. It is also, in a way, a record of my path over the past few years. Copenhagen, Warsaw, Helsinki, Delfzijl, Katowice, Wrocław.
