It was a different Poland. Yes, it was authoritarian, but it has a sense of international brotherhood. It was not a Poland that joined the imeprialists in destroying Iraq. "The festival was the catalyst for a decades-long series of Polish press photographs showing people of African descent (PAD) visiting and living in Poland. Bartosz Nowicki, a Polish photographer and curator who currently lives in Wales, has spent the past few years researching these archive photos from the period 1955-1989. He recently curated an exhibition,  Afro PRL , which highlighted the long-standing connections between white Poles and PAD, a memory that is often forgotten in contemporary Poland." "Afro-Poland"
