VASA Exhibitions is presenting the work of Anna Hartman-Ksycinska
English:
The topic of non-binary and gender identity in the media is being discussed more and more often. Often it is a great merit of public figures, show business stars and their coming outs. No less important role in this topic has also photography.
And although for some time in the Baltic countries, they write and talk about it more and more often, we are still far from perfect. And Poland, whose authorities still make LGBT+ people enemies and destroyers of Polishness, is a particularly difficult place to live a normal life.>> The photographer's work may be viewed through the menu to the left.
Polish:
Temat niebinarności i tożsamości płciowej w mediach jest poruszany coraz częściej. Jest to z pewnością w dużej
mierze, zasługą osób publicznych czy gwiazd show-biznesu i ich coming outów. Niemniej ważną rolę w tym
temacie odgrywa również fotografia.I chociaż od jakiegoś czasu w krajach nadbałtyckich również pisze i mówi I mówi się na ten temat
coraz odważniej, , to wciąż daleko nam do doskonałości. A Polska, której władze nadal czynią z osób
LGBT+ wrogów i niszczycieli polskości, jest szczególnie trudnym miejscem do normalnego życia.>> Pracę fotografa można obejrzeć w menu po lewej stronie.

On VASA Exhibitions:
VASA, since 2008, has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko and "Why??" curated by Sandeep Biswas.
VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural. The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural. As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools. Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard. Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).
VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.
VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
