'Go home, Polish' graffiti prompts photographer's 1,200-mile walk

When photographer Michał Iwanowski, 41, came across some graffiti in Cardiff that said, 'Go home, Polish', he decided to take it literally. Here, in his own words, he tells how and why he embarked on the 1,200-mile walk from Wales back to his country of birth.

I still remember seeing the graffiti. It was only small, but I was taken aback: 'Go home, Polish'. I had lived in Cardiff for many years and considered Wales my home. But I was also Polish, so I began to question whether I was at home or not, and where, in fact, home was. I had never felt any negativity towards me in Wales. I found the people warm and welcoming. But after the Brexit referendum, I felt a change in mood – not towards me, but towards immigrants in general. I felt some people were dehumanizing 'the other' and the concept began to terrify me. How could people turn on each other like this?

A From there I walked through Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the Czech Republic before reaching Poland. Along the way, I told people what I was doing and why, to see what reaction I would get. It was almost always positive. People shared their own stories, their own hopes and fears, their worries about their lives and situations. Only once was I shouted at, when I wandered onto an allotment in Germany to ask a man for directions. I began to realize that on an individual level, we have so much in common.

B I ended up low on energy and electrolytes. At one point, I remember throwing my backpack in the bushes and just wanting to give up, which is unusual for me, as I am an upbeat person. In the end, I sat there for about two hours, then got up again and continued the walk.

C In total, it took me 105 days to arrive in my home village of Mokrzeszów, in western Poland. By the end, I was in survival mode. I was reclusive and refused company. I walked up my home street and, as I did, a group of my relatives slowly walked out to meet me carrying a 'Welcome home' banner. It felt like a funeral procession. It was very surreal.

D Back in the UK, there is still anti-Polish and anti-immigrant graffiti, of course – much worse than what I saw – and I deplore it every time I see it. We must never tolerate racist language. But I need to put away my cynicism, and remember – as my walk showed me – that most people are generous and most people are good.

E It was then I began planning my journey, setting off on 27th April 2018 with a rough route map and a 15 kg backpack. Carrying British and Polish passports, I often wore a T-shirt bearing the word 'Polska', so people would know I was Polish. I walked over the bridge from Wales into England, then took the ferry to France.

F Of course, it didn't feel like an achievement at the time. Plenty of people walk long distances. But, looking back, it feels like I have achieved something. The walk helped me to solidify my views on 'home'. I felt utterly at home walking across the breadth of Europe's landscape. I don't need to be told by a person or government where my home is and isn't. I belong to the ground beneath my feet, not to any country where I happen to have a passport.

G Much of the walking was enjoyable, whether it was through Brussels or Cologne, or through the bushes and wild forests of Germany. I would stay in Airbnbs, wild camp or sometimes stay with strangers, who would often offer me food. But, as I was walking in the summer, I was hit by the Europe-wide heatwave, and began to find my mission unbearable.

Look at two of the things that Michał said. Do you agree with them? Why (not)?

'I belong to the ground beneath my feet, not to any country where I happen to have a passport.'

'...most people are generous and most people are good.'

а) Прочитайте заголовок и первые два абзаца статьи. Почему Михал решил пойти пешком из Уэльса в Польшу? Как вы думаете, чему он мог научиться во время своей прогулки? Как вы думаете, почему на одной из фотографий он держит птичье гнездо?

Ответ:

Michał decided to walk from Wales to Poland because he saw graffiti that said 'Go home, Polish' and decided to take it literally. It made him question where 'home' truly was. During his walk, he likely learned that despite some negative attitudes, most individual people are kind and willing to connect. I think he is holding a bird's nest because a nest is a powerful symbol of home, which is the central theme of his journey and his personal quest.

Михал решил пойти пешком из Уэльса в Польшу, потому что увидел граффити с надписью "Езжай домой, поляк" и решил воспринять это буквально. Это заставило его задуматься о том, где на самом деле находится "дом". Во время своего путешествия он, вероятно, понял, что, несмотря на некоторые негативные настроения, большинство людей в отдельности добры и готовы к общению. Я думаю, он держит птичье гнездо, потому что гнездо — это мощный символ дома, который является центральной темой его путешествия и личных поисков.

г) Посмотрите на два высказывания Михала. Вы с ними согласны? Почему (нет)?

Ответ:

‘I belong to the ground beneath my feet, not to any country where I happen to have a passport.’
Yes, I agree with this. I think that feeling at home is about your connection to a place and the earth, not just about official papers. You can feel like you belong somewhere even if you weren't born there, and a passport doesn't automatically create that feeling.

"Я принадлежу земле под ногами, а не какой-либо стране, в которой у меня случайно есть паспорт".
Да, я с этим согласен. Я думаю, что чувство дома — это твоя связь с местом и землей, а не просто официальные документы. Ты можешь чувствовать себя своим где-то, даже если ты там не родился, и паспорт не создает это чувство автоматически.

‘...most people are generous and most people are good.’
I agree with this too. I believe that deep down, most people want to be kind and help others. Sometimes we hear more about the bad people, but in our daily lives, there are many more examples of goodness and generosity if we look for them.

"...большинство людей щедры и большинство людей добры".
С этим я тоже согласен. Я верю, что в глубине души большинство людей хотят быть добрыми и помогать другим. Иногда мы больше слышим о плохих людях, но в нашей повседневной жизни гораздо больше примеров доброты и щедрости, если их замечать.
