In February 2005 I was part of an artists' residency in Suprasl, North eastern Poland. I went with colleagues from Jubilee Arts at the invitation of the Cultural Animation Department of Warsaw University. Our role was to work with students from the Department to introduce them to the techniques of Community Arts. Ania Bas, a student at the Department, and I visited a Polish farmer and interviewed him about his life in a small, dying, Polish farming community.
