WE BELIEVE YOU BABCIA is a multimedia art installation about Polish grandmothers, intergenerational relationships and the often untraced creative lineage of familial storytelling. The work is based on a thrilling ghost story, told to my children by their grandmother (a shy woman who grew up in Postwar Poland) who would never dream of calling herself an artist, but who has deeply marked the creative lives of her children and grandchildren with her storytelling gifts. 

This immersive installation recreates a moment from a story the artist’s rapt children would beg their grandmother to tell them, again and again; the story of how 9 year old and her fearless best friend Ania broke into an abandoned, bomb-ruined, pigeon filled theatre in 1960s Wroclaw, and encountered a strange apparition: a group of ghostly actors, dressed in historical costumes, silently occupying a flooded stage.
