Metamorfoza

‘Metamorfoza’ was kindly supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and British Council.  A curation of work and collaboration with renowned Polish artists Diana Lelonek, Anna Zagrodzka, Karol Szymkowiak, and the duo Dyba and Adam Lach, alongside Fotofestiwal Łódź. The series of exhibitions, events, and screenings were all attended by the artists in person to  explore the evolving landscapes of Polish ecology and society.

“Photography, at its best, is not just a way of seeing the world – it’s a way of transforming it. The Polish artists presented at this year’s Belfast Photo Festival confront us with powerful, unsettling, and deeply poetic reflections on memory, ecology, and the politics of presence and absence. Their work speaks to our time – a time of planetary fragility and urgent reimaginings. We are proud to support this dialogue between Polish visual culture and Northern Irish landscapes, where art becomes a lens through which we can reframe both history and the future.” - Olga Brzezińska, Deputy Director of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute
