“Fotopatki”

“If I think of my childhood in Poland, I can’t remember anyone who was not native to my local environment. I grew up with Polish children despite living in a big city. As with my peers, I knew little of different cultures, languages and traditions outside of my homeland. In contrast the past is now, due to the political and economical influences afforded me through coming closer to other nationalities and cultures. Art opens the way for me to meet with people from different parts of the world. What was difficult to embrace is now obvious and familiar.” In what kind of a world have we as children grown up? To answer this question Gosia Hejnat receives photographic documentation from artist-colleges. This material is of the childhood of artists from different nationalities and cultures, they migrated in the other places of the world and live there as “stranger” now. Through these influences Gosia Hejnat created her Assemblage’s.
