Wschodnia Street. In search for everyday space

Grażyna Ewa Karpińska

Abstract

Wschodnia Street in Łódź, once a bustling shopping street, is now associated with poverty and pathologies. In this article the author analyzes the performance project by Agnieszka Ziemiszewska—“Invisible Wschodnia”, which is aimed at its inhabitants. Scheduled as an intervention action and social event, it showed other faces, stories, and looks of the notorious street. The artist’s actions drew the residents’ attention to the traces of the past and uncovered invisible aspects of everyday life. The project made the residents aware that they are active actors creating and transforming the city’s space.
