In a sunny Sunday, 2016, in a little church, in a little town in Poland, a very strange wedding took place. It gathered the living with the dead, fiction with reality, politics with fairy-tale...
Based on a true event, the Lebanese artists Lina Majdalanie and Rabih Mroué explore these hybrid, eclectic narratives and imageries at work in today political discourses in Poland, trying to investigate their socio-political mechanisms and economic interests.
Marta Keil and Grzegorz Reske invited the two artists to think together on the affects that are produced and reproduced in contemporary right wings governance and Neo-nationalist ideology. Through this weird event of Sunday 2016, Last but not last tackles the case of political shifts in Poland that seems to reflect broader changes in European societies, and far beyond.
