The Polish artist who uses embroidery as a form of protest

After the recent elections, Poland is experiencing a stalemate in terms of the recognition of rights. Monika Drozynska is part of a generation of artists trying to use entertainment as a means of making art in a political way.

Drozynska embroiders train headrests with political slogans in various languages, including Braille. For her, fun is ‘the only way to fight’ when the ‘issue is serious’. ‪@vdnews_ita‬ followed her to understand how fun can be political.
