Rethinking Eastern Europe at OFF Arles 2025

For the second year in a row, our collective Rethinking Eastern Europe, founded by Zula Rabikowska, will be presenting its work during Les Rencontres d'Arles, this time as a part of OFF Arles Festival.

On Thursday 10th July, in collaboration with Fotofestiwal and the Polish Institute in Paris, we’re hosting a special screening featuring photographic works by fourteen artists from across Eastern Europe.

The selected projects explore themes of identity, belonging, migration, and collective memory.

I’m excited to be presenting my project 'Homeland', a photographic exploration of belonging, identity, and memory among Polish migrant communities in the UK, realised between Birmingham and Nottingham.
