Post Industrial Revolution is an artistic residency exchange between the UK and Poland focusing on the cities of Birmingham and Gdansk, in particular the areas of Digbeth and the Gdansk Shipyard. The comparisons between Digbeth and the Gdansk Shipyard as post industrial sites are of significance, each city has at some stage been deeply affected by the demise of industry, its movement abroad, and more recently the development of cultural and leisure industries in these former industrial areas. What interests us is how visual art can be seen to carry out and reflect this shift in usage, the change in social and industrial history of such spaces and its implications.

“Democracies” is a series of short documentary films realised by Artur Żmijewski within the framework of a scholarship in Berlin’s DAAD. Each of the films is a kind of reportage about the course of a social demonstration in Poland, Europe, Israel and on the West Bank of the Jordan. It is also an attempt to reconstruct historical events, such as fans rioting during Euro 2008 or the funeral of Jörg Haider.

"Political designers" are part of the research project "Re-Designing the East" conducted between Central Europe (Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary) and Asia (Korea, Thailand, India), focusing on participation and involvement of graphic designers and artists in changes in political systems since the early 80s.
