In 2008, Cardiff-based, Polish-born artist, Michal Iwanowski, came across graffiti near his home that read ‘Go Home, Polish’. Ten years later, amidst the backdrop of Brexit and a divided Europe, he undertook a gruelling 1900km journey on foot between Wales and his home village of Mokrzeszów in Poland. His aim was to explore and understand the notion of ‘home’. The journey took 105 days to complete, throughout which he posted a diary of his experiences and encounters on Instagram.
