In 2012 Krzysztof Kiziewicz made contact with me. At that time, he was involved in the project “Songs of the River”. The project brought together young enthusiasts who wanted to preserve the culture and character of the Biebrza riverside areas for memory. I was invited to do a work (project) for them that would reflect the atmosphere of the film and emphasize the character of the people immortalized on the film. This is how the linocut “Songs of the River” was created, which became the logo of the entire project and the guiding graphic element for the entire film set, released on the occasion of the premiere of the film. All elements of the set are pictured below, and the edition was limited to 100 numbered copies.
Partners of project became : Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego, Województwo Podlaskie, and media patrons became, among others: Engram, Platforma Kultury, Polskie Radio Białystok, WOAK in Białystok.
