Awards:
W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography
Justyna Mielnikiewicz is the recipient of this year’s W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for her project “A Diverging Frontier”, which looks at the role of ethnicity in the political development of countries that were formerly part of the USSR.
In her proposal Justyna said: “My project explores borders as ever-changing spheres of influence that overlap physical borders marked on the map. It documents life on the frontier of Europe, and delves into the symbolic meanings and reconstructed historical narratives of these borderlands, which contribute to the formation of national identity and shaping the images of the neighboring countries.”

It's a fascinating project and it will be interesting to see where Justyna takes it.
