At the same time, Dua Lipa shared her reflection on the situation of LGBTQIA+ people in Poland in the past and today.
“When I read 'Swimming in the Dark', I feel as if I was looking at the most intimate moments of self-discovery. It is a poetic and suspenseful reading, accompanied by a feeling of silent anger caused by the persecution of the LGBTQIA+ community, which Poland faced then and still struggles with today. It is beautiful a story that I hope you will love as much as I do,” we read in the post.
