“In 1980, while a student, I sold badges and other ephemera on the streets of Brighton in support of Solidarność (Solidarity), the Polish trade union founded in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk that same year. Government attempts to destroy the group through the imposition of martial law failed and, by the mid-80s, with membership having grown to some 10 million (one-third of the country's working-age population) it was finally recognised as a legitimate organisation by the State. Solidarność ultimately played a central role in the ending of communist rule in Poland and its leader, Lech Wałęsa, rose from a humble electrician to become his country’s first democratically elected President.
Almost a quarter of a century later, in 2004, I found myself in the newly named Stocznia Gdańska (Gdansk Shipyard). I was in the early stages of making The Sound of Two Songs, a five-year project following Poland’s accession to the European Union. I’d been so excited to visit, but the experience turned out to be a melancholy one; the shipyard was then working at just 20% capacity, unable to compete successfully in the free market with South Korea or China.” – @marktpower
