Running a business as a woman living abroad

When Sylwia thinks back to cleaning hotels in London all those years ago, she never would have dreamt that one day she would discover a shared love of posters from the Polish School of Posters with Harriet, her co-founder at Projekt 26. They speak about their jobs as a work of passion and the appeal of Polish posters to the English (and beyond).

The proof of the vitality and visor of art schools is provided by the new talents they produce and the list of names from the younger generation of artists who join the ranks of the old guard. Of equal importance is the development and the manner in which the old guard itself changes. This is especially true of those members of the Polish school of poster art who have long been recognised as masters though they are only about 40 years old at the moment.

This month would have seen epic Polish poster artist Roman Cieslewicz turn 90. We want to honour his memory and his immense talent with a dedicated blog post.
