Zula Rabikowska - Alumni MA Documentary Photography, London College of Communication for Walls in Online Places
Due to self-isolation to protect against the COVID-19 outbreak and closures of galleries and museums in the UK. I decided to channel my creativity and motivation into hosting a virtual online exhibition, which is showcasing my most recent documentary photography project, Ba Lan.
This is a project about the Vietnamese diaspora in Poland, which I carried out in 2019. Ba Lan means “Poland” in Vietnamese and this project focuses on the Vietnamese diaspora in Warsaw. It seeks to understand how this community reconciles their identity in a country which believes that nationality is rooted in ethnic origin. Poland is a mono-ethnic country whose minority ethnic populations are seldom depicted by the media, and I drew on my experiences as a Polish immigrant the UK in my collaborative work with the Vietnamese community in Warsaw.
