📸 So happy to see “The World by Touch” currently on view at the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China.🏮🇨🇳
📅 On view: 19–23 September 2026.
The work is presented as part of "The Future Is Experimental. 20 Artists Redefining Photography" — a group exhibition bringing together 20 international artists.
🙏Thank you @experimentalphotofestival and @pip.festival for bringing the work to China.
🤍 What matters most to me: this project tells the story of children from a school for the blind and visually impaired in Ethiopia. You can actively support this school through @smartaidint

Festival della Fotografia Etica | LE VITE DEGLI ALTRI | Aleksandra Kassowska
Come si può raccontare un mondo che non passa attraverso la vista?
Nel progetto ‘The world by touch’, Aleksandra Kassowska entra nella quotidianità dei bambini che vivono in un collegio per ciechi e ipovedenti a Sebeta, in Etiopia. Un ambiente protetto regolato da ritmi e rituali, dove suoni, consistenze, profumi, gesti e forme diventano strumenti per conoscere lo spazio e costruire la propria memoria.
Realizzate nel 2024, le fotografie sono state successivamente perforate a mano dall’autrice, trasformando la superficie delle immagini in linee e costellazioni di piccoli punti che possono essere percepiti attraverso il tatto.
Un progetto che invita a cambiare il modo in cui guardiamo una fotografia, mettendo al centro una nuova esperienza sensoriale.
Il Festival della @fotografiaetica sarà a Lodi dal 26 settembre al 25 ottobre.
Il catalogo ufficiale della 17ª edizione è disponibile al bookshop di Palazzo Barni durante il Festival e sul nostro sito emusebook.com.
Vi aspettiamo a Lodi.

Co zostaje z miejsca, które musieliśmy opuścić? Jak długo nosimy je w sobie i jak zmienia się ono, kiedy dorastamy już gdzie indziej?
10 października w Sosnowcu otwiera się „Wschód” — wystawa zbiorowa w ramach Międzynarodowego Biennale Fotografii FESTIVAL200. Wschód pojawia się tu jako geografia, ale też pamięć, tożsamość i osobiste doświadczenie.
Moją częścią tej wystawy będą „Ptaki nie znają granic”.
Projekt zaczął się od spotkań z młodymi osobami podczas warsztatów New Home Project w 2022 roku. Z czasem spotkania przerodziły się w relacje, co trwają do dziś.
New Home Project nigdy nie był projektem, który tworzyłam sama. Tak samo „Ptaki nie znają granic” powstają wspólnie z osobami, które fotografuję. Są współautorami i współautorkami — opowiadają własne historie poprzez zdjęcia, teksty i osobiste archiwa.
Na wernisażu zobaczycie też prezentację multimedialną z prac uczestników i uczestniczek:
• fotografie Nazara @nazar__nikolenko — ucznia @teb_liceum_technikum_warszawa i Lili @livision.jpg
• a także usłyszycie Odarkę @odarka.nizhna czytającą swoje wiersze.
Dajcie sobie chwilę na te historie.

Amy Gaskin | Marilyn Forever! A Symbol of Hope
🇮🇹 Dal 2026 al 2027 si celebra in tutto il mondo il centenario della nascita di Marilyn Monroe. Il suo ricordo vive attraverso le innumerevoli persone che la considerano un catalizzatore di ottimismo e ispirazione nei momenti difficili.
Sfidò il sistema degli studios hollywoodiani in quanto donna e si dice che la sua intelligenza sia sempre stata sottovalutata. In Australia, Marilyn è un simbolo di coraggio di fronte alle avversità, e di body positivity per chi lotta contro il cancro.

🇬🇧From 2026 to 2027, the Centennial year of Marilyn Monroe is being celebrated around the world. Her memory lives on through the countless people who see her as a catalyst for optimism and inspiration in difficult times.
She challenged the studio system as a woman in Hollywood and had her intelligence underestimated, they say. In Australia, Marilyn is a symbol of gutsiness in the face of adversity, and body positivity for people whose lives are touched by cancer.

🏆 Global Peace Photo Award 2026
I’m deeply honoured to receive the Alfred Fried Peace Medal and the @globalpeacephotoaward 2026 in the Story Category for The World by Touch.
What makes me especially happy about the recognition this work has received is that it also brings attention to the Sebeta School for Blind and Visually Impaired Children in Ethiopia, where these photographs were made.
I hope that through these photographs more people will learn that this place exists, and perhaps find a way to support the school and its community.
Thank you to the jury of the Global Peace Photo Award for recognising this work and for helping this story reach a wider audience.
And congratulations to Silvia Alessi @silvia.txs, winner of the Peace Image of the Year 2026 for The Cut, as well as to all the other laureates: Antonio Denti @antclick, Mahmoud Abu Hamda @mahmoudhamda and Sesilia Shainidze. It was a privilege to share this evening with you.
Thank you, Vienna. ❤️

I can finally share this officially: “The World by Touch” will be exhibited at the 17th edition of @fotografiaetica Festival della Fotografia Etica in Lodi, Italy.
I’ll be in Lodi during the final weekend of the festival, 24–25 October, and I’d also love to invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition and an artist talk. I’ll share the exact time as soon as it is confirmed.
The project was created in 2024 at a boarding school for blind and partially sighted children in Sebeta, Ethiopia. The photographs were later perforated by hand, transforming their surfaces into something that can also be experienced through touch — an attempt to translate a visual image into a form that can be both seen and felt.
Earlier this year, “The World by Touch” was shortlisted for the Student Award, World Report Award | Documenting Humanity. The project will now be presented as part of the official exhibition programme of Festival della Fotografia Etica, in The Lives of Others section.
📍 Palazzo Modignani, Lodi, Italy
📅 26 September – 25 October 2026
I’m very happy that this story will be shown in Lodi, at a festival dedicated to documentary photography and to stories that help us better understand the world.

Taisiia Yarova @taisayarova, @unbroken.ukraine National Rehabilitation Center, Lviv, Ukraine, September 7, 2026.
Taisiia Yarova is a specialist in aesthetic exoprosthetics at the UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center in Lviv, where she creates individually designed prostheses for people who have lost parts of their face or body, including patients injured during the war in Ukraine.
Her work combines medicine, sculpture, colour and biomedical engineering. She creates ocular and facial prostheses, as well as prosthetic ears, noses and fingers, reproducing details such as skin tone and texture, the colour of the iris and individual anatomical features.
Each prosthesis is made for a specific person and developed in cooperation with doctors and surgeons. Some are intended for long-term use, while others accompany patients through successive stages of reconstructive treatment.
Beyond restoring form, this work can help people regain confidence, independence and a sense of normality in everyday life after severe trauma.

Jacob, 26, a former U.S. soldier, joined Ukraine's Third Army Corps, sustained severe injuries from a Russian TM-62 mine, and spent eight months recovering from paralysis, speech loss, and burns. Despite ongoing rehabilitation and uncertain full recovery, he remains determined to rejoin the military, possibly in a drone unit, driven by ideological commitment and camaraderie. He formed a relationship with a Ukrainian woman during recovery and follows a rigorous therapy regimen to regain mobility and speech.
