Eastbourne Station, 11 - 26 April, 2009
Collaborative installation
Photographs by Lisa Barnard
Texts by Mark Hewitt
An installation at Eastbourne Station as part of Eastbourne Festival 2009. Large banner portraits by award-winning photographer Lisa Barnard hung from the roof of Eastbourne Station accompanied by a rack of 24 postcards, combining photographs of domestic ephemera with snippets of texts from interviews conducted by by Mark Hewitt with Polish people living and working in Eastbourne focusing on their thoughts, aspirations and sense of identity.
The project was developed in close collaboration with Polish community networking group, Polskie Eastbourne. (With special thanks to Miriam Miklaszewska.)
