'I spent several weeks gazing at the presented photographs. Obviously, someone one might be inclined to describe them as ordinary. But the uniqueness of these small photos produce an awareness of the significance of the work performed by Jacek Sielski, artist and excellent press photographer. (...) Jacek Sielski is familiar with the Praga district. In this case, he chose as his leitmotif a single street with an adjoining area, namely, Brzeska Street and the Rózycki Bazaar. In doing so, he demonstrated, to put it in plain terms, a lot of courage. Not all the residents of Brzeska Street were willing to pose for a photographer. (...) The photos were taken in the 1970s, the difficult years of the People's Republic of Poland. (...) The proverbial stench and filth discernible in the photographs, the highly suspicious looking men and woman, and the omnipresent poverty are the symbols of those bad old days. It was also then that Brzeska Street became known as a 'mean street', dangerous, and full of thugs and prostitutes, an image which Jacek Sielski captured perfectly. Looking at his photos let us keep in mind that this is an image of a past epoch and inimitable situations, similar to those captured in the now rapidly vanishing Rózycki market'.

Jacek Sielski took photographs of the Praga district in Warsaw from a specific angle, seeking a sui generis urban folklore or encountering it frame after frame. Looking at the bodies and faces of people from the streets of Praga: Brzeska, Zabkowska, Kaweczynska, Stalowa and Szwedzka, or the Rózycki Bazaar we suddenly see much more, and their dialogues, thoughts and experiences become 'visible'. We discover not only the folklore of the people of Praga but become aware of the fact that we are facing a 'Praga family of man'.

A record of a conversation held with Grzegorz Kowalski - artist, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, co-organiser of the celebrated inter-generation exhibitions held in the Praga district in the 1990s, and Roman Wozniak - director of Teatr Academia, organiser of a Praga event known as 'Neighbours for Neighbours', and leader of the Praga art milieus. The conversation is not only a reflection about the presence of artists in Praga and the changes which took place in the district in recent years but also an attempt at reconstructing successive exhibitions featured there.
