Summary/Abstract: This piece of writing focuses on different obstacles that may play a crucial role in the creativeactivity of those artists, who are or – better – happen be excluded because of their sex, race,origin or disability. By presenting examples of artistic projects and profiles of Frédéric BrulyBouabré, Imogen Stidworthy (with Edward Woodman) and Kara Walker, it is possible toexamine various attitudes that result in achieving a worldwide recognition in the „art world”.What is important, this popularity appears to occur despite their own kind of Difference andthanks to it in the same time. The „differential factor” may connect not only those, who belongto excluded groups, but everyone who is sensitive to social, ethnic and artistic issues as well.The whole matter is considered mainly in reference to the process of communication, as itbears visible resemblance to the work of art’s existence.
