Mission and responsibility

About the Agitation 1944 project

An independent educational project that combines archival photographs, a map of Warsaw and contemporary AI animation - with a clear separation of document and interpretation.

Why it was created

History written in a single frame

Photography captures a moment, but it does not always allow you to immediately understand the place, time and people. "Movement 1944" combines photos with the date, location and short historical context, and then shows a contemporary interpretation of the movement prepared using AI tools.

It is not intended to replace archives or create the appearance of recovered recordings. The project is intended to encourage people to look carefully at sources, get to know the authors of the photographs and continue to check the history themselves.

What we protect

  • clear marking of AI interference,
  • authorship and sources of photography,
  • respect for the people shown in the photos,
