Summary/Abstract: The article is a review of the book by Paweł Mościcki “Migawki z tradycji uciśnionych” [“Images from the Tradition of the Oppressed”] (2017), devoted to experimental and alternative art, the authors of which address the issue of migration and refugees. Fiuk draws attention to the merits of the publication, referring both to the choice of the theme and the formula of its presentation, and also points out – in places in detail – examples of film, photographic and poetic works which are mentioned. At the same time, she questions some of the interpretative clues that Mościcki follows, and lists examples of Eurocentric works of art created about refugees and an Eurocentric view of them, which – in her opinion – the author of the book and some artists cited adopt.
