We’re so excited to bring our group exhibition “Rethinking Eastern Europe” to Brighton’s Photo Fringe 2024. “Rethinking Eastern Europe” presents a reimagined perspective of Eastern Europe, breaking down stereotypes and celebrating the region’s diverse identities, histories, and traditions. Through photography, film, sculpture, and visual art, we explore themes of identity, memory, and shared heritage. Our work reflects a deep understanding of Eastern Europe’s past while creating dialogue between tradition and contemporary life.
