Curator Fran Forman says, "Important and timely documentation concerning  animal welfare and the rescue of arctic sea mammals."

Polina Schneider says, "I was born in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) in 1989 during the harsh times of the Perestroika and being raised in different languages, cultures and religious beliefs (Catholicism, Judaism and Russian Orthodox). it has sharpened my instincts towards the way people communicate and how they interact with each other. Always on the move, I am continuously fighting for my rights as a woman, as an immigrant, as a human being. Eager to learn faster and more than others, I was happy to have studied Chinese as a Foreign language and Computer Science, proving that languages and IT do not have to be a contradiction. After graduating with two Bachelor degrees in 2018, I recently came back to the university world: I am now studying photojournalism and documentary photography in Hanover.

Making use of the knowledge and tools that help me to tell my story visually, I joined the socially critical collective “Tuerspion” – a print medium where marginalized individuals are expressing themselves creatively. Furthermore, I am participating in the International Environmental Photography Lab by the Native Agency (with exhibitions to come in 2022) and was chosen as an emerging artist by Women Art Prize/X-Treme with a current exhibition in Berlin. As a new member of the German female photo club, I am eager to promote the issues on which the association is based, namely: drawing attention to social wrongs, shaping public discourse and ensuring that the perspectives of women are seen by the public."
