Artistic Exile for Artists from the Black Land

By Julia Sawicka (Originally published in Zcie Warszawy)

They can’t return to their home countries because of wars and conflicts going on there, and they are afraid of persecutions. In Poland they have found a second home.

They come from a multicultural and colourful continent. Although they come from different countries, speak different languages and being brought up in different cultures, for Poles they are all exiles from Africa. In Warsaw they are represented by the Association of Exiles, where we can also find refugees from other continents. Simon Mol from Cameroon is one of founders of this association.
