We will dive into a captivating analysis of cultural politics during the interwar period, exploring how visual art shaped colonial dependencies and territorial occupations. Using the Belarusian city of Hrodno as a case study, we'll uncover how art was wielded to establish Polish political and cultural dominance after the Treaty of Riga in 1921.

We'll also explore literature! Together, we'll read and discuss texts from the interwar period and contemporary works that address borderland dynamics.
