Kozia 11. The opening is on 3 September 2026 at 6 p.m. The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the Gabriel Narutowicz Institute of Political Thought in Warsaw. The Museum of Caricature on the exhibition: The 1980s and 1990s were the time when the niche independent press flourished most. Bulletins of the political opposition were produced on duplicators; in community centres, science fiction enthusiasts printed illegal translations of the genre’s classics and their own first literary attempts. The photocopier, a device meant to make office work easier in a capitalist corporation, became at that time a tool of resistance, a seedbed of dissenting thought and avant-garde art. Zines, whatever the views of their makers, became part of the political transition. In their pages a discussion went on about a changing world and about the fears and hopes raised by the new political system. Many makers of zines and of the independent press entered the mainstream in the Third Republic - the worlds of politics, scholarship and art.museums
