Agnieszka Traczewska: Bracha - Blessing. Back to Polish Shtetls. ACT Jewish Community Centre Gallery | Closing date uncertain, but expected to continue throughout 2021. Open Monday to Thursday, 10am-3pm, except on Jewish holy days.

A fine photographic insight into pilgrimages by ultra-Orthodox Jews is on display at the ACT Jewish Community Centre gallery. Outstanding artistic black-and-white prints provided by the Polish Embassy provide this excellent exhibition of Chasidim (a sect of Orthodox Jews) returning to destroyed shtetls (small Jewish towns or villages) in Poland. The exhibition prints are of a very high quality. What's more the quality of the photojournalism is great.
