In celebration of International Women's Day, we are delighted to have Zula Rabikowska speaking at this event. Zula is a Polish-British photographer & videographer based between London and Kraków. Her work explores themes of displacement, belonging and gender identity. At this event, Zula will be sharing her tips on writing funding applications, working as a freelance photographer & balancing personal projects with commercial work. She will be sharing her most recent documentary work Nothing But a Curtain, a multimedia project which explores womanhood and gender in post-communist countries in Eastern Europe, through portraiture, interview, written testimonies & a collaborative knitted curtain. Countries once behind the Iron Curtain are often reduced to the term “Eastern Bloc," which lumps a diverse population into a homogenous and unrecognisable mass. The Iron Curtain was the socio-political barrier that divided the "West" from the "East" during the Cold War. A selection of the work from this project will be on display in the studio during this event.
