My grandma’s family was forced to resettle from Lviv to Silesia during the Second World War. She was five years old when they got on the train and left their home. They didn’t take any belongings and were moving to the unknown. For the past 40 years, my grandma has been busy with paperwork and meeting lawyers. She was claiming to recover the property of her family house in Ukraine. This June, she received a rejection. The project idea was to travel to Ukraine and document the homecoming in photographs. By examining my personal relation to the issues of longing, home, identity, and migration, I aim to challenge today’s notions of those topics. I believe that by following my grandmother’s steps in connection with a place that once was her home, I can find some common ground in the issues we face today. There were around 100,000 Poles who were moved away from their homes in Lviv. I’m interested in how the role of migration in the previous generations can shape and put light on the issues we face now, especially when the negative stance towards mass migrations can be observed. I would aim to avoid the typical documentary narrative that portrays the history of the post-war generation and rather propose an artistic and emotional response to the subject. 2018
