Warsaw Photo Days 2017
POST SOVIETICUS
17.11-15.12.2017
On November 17, Warsaw Photo Days festival organized by Warsaw Association of Polish Art Photographers (OW ZPAF) will open under the theme POST SOVIETICUS.
Sixteen exhibitions presenting the works of forty two authors will be shown in Warsaw galleries.
The theme of this year’s edition of the festival has been formulated for the presented photographic projects to serve as an artistic reference to the history and modernity of the post-Soviet countries. The traces of the past in both the people and places turned out to be an interesting area for artistic expression, but also an opportunity to present important historical photographs depicting the shape of the past world.
