Awards:
W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography
Justyna Mielnikiewicz is the recipient of this year?S W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for her project ?A Diverging Frontier?, which looks at the function of ethnicity inside the political development of nations that have been formerly part of the USA.
In her suggestion Justyna said: ?My assignment explores borders as ever-converting spheres of influence that overlap bodily borders marked on the map. It documents lifestyles on the frontier of Europe, and delves into the symbolic meanings and reconstructed historic narratives of those borderlands, which make a contribution to the formation of national identification and shaping the pics of the neighboring countries.?
It's a captivating venture and it'll be thrilling to peer wherein Justyna takes it.
