<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is created from hundreds of archival photographs of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a residents \u2013 not only from the textile factories associated with this city, but also from kitchens, pharmacies, sewers, hospitals, offices, and construction sites. The second axis consists of private photos \u2013 neither as trivial nor as innocent as they might seem at first glance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:30 PM, Meeting with Niccol\u00f2 Rastrelli at the Center for Comics and Interactive Narrative in English<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What connects people in Japan, Nigeria, Italy, and India? And what do families look like when the father occasionally transforms into Sub-Zero or a manga character? You’ll be able to ask these questions to the author of one of the Fotofestiwal exhibitions, who has been documenting the global phenomenon of cosplay for years \u2013 in unusual contexts that begin to tell us more about ourselves than about the subjects of the photographs. The meeting will be moderated by Joanna Birek, a long-time organizer of the The International Festival of Comics and Games, who will expand the conversation also to the Polish scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
