"Parallax 2018-2022" edited by Pawel Mendrek and Martin Newth, marks the second publication documenting the activities of the Parallax European network since its inaugural book in 2017. This publication centres around the documentation of the exhibition "Sex, Suicide, Socialism, Spirit, and Stereotypes" at the Kronika Centre for Contemporary Art in Bytom, Poland. Featuring the works of 23 artists from Poland, the UK, and Sweden, the exhibition delved into concepts of the politics of place, social exchange, and cultural differences.

Drawing from the Parallax Network's activities, which include conferences and exchanges, the publication also compiles 13 essays reflecting on the challenges encountered during the covered years. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, brought the roles of art, education, and international exchange sharply into focus.

Amidst the turmoil of the pandemic and other social and political upheavals, the book poses pivotal questions: What role can Parallax play amidst these crises? How can its community and dialogue foster meaningful change during a period of radical adaptation? As institutions and individuals grapple with uncertainty, "Parallax 2018-2022" offers insights into the power of art and collective discourse to navigate turbulent times.
