Zakłócenie komunikacji jako inspiracja do refleksji nad poszukiwaniem tożsamości

Abstract

This piece of writing focuses on different obstacles that may play a crucial role in the creative activity of those artists, who are or – better – happen be excluded because of their sex, race, origin or disability. By presenting examples of artistic projects and profiles of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Imogen Stidworthy (with Edward Woodman) and Kara Walker, it is possible to examine various attitudes that result in achieving a worldwide recognition in the „art world”. What is important, this popularity appears to occur despite their own kind of Difference and thanks to it in the same time. The „differential factor” may connect not only those, who belong to excluded groups, but everyone who is sensitive to social, ethnic and artistic issues as well. The whole matter is considered mainly in reference to the process of communication, as it bears visible resemblance to the work of art’s existence.
