“Trouble in Paradise is a critical enquiry into the social and spatial elements of the Polish countryside. The curatorial project of the Polish Pavilion aims to challenge the common understanding of the urban–rural division through a multidisciplinary perspective. It thus addresses theoretical gaps in understanding the ongoing internal migration from the cities to rural areas. The curatorial project calls for an integrated reading of the territory where settlements types, forms of labour, modes of living, familial relations, kinship as well as socio-political struggles are shaping How we live together. “
Platon Issaias and Hamed Khosravi
