It is rounded out by a comic-mural made specially for the exhibition about her recent move to the Portuguese countryside. Zachęta on the exhibition: Dorota Podlaska’s art is narrative and often draws inspiration from personal experiences. The exhibition consists of several cycles of paintings that refer to the artist’s habit of noting down everything she sees and experiences. They are also connected by the watercolor technique, which the artist discovered a few years ago and which gave her greater freedom in painting. The ‘Diaries’ are paintings seen, experienced, and imagined. Imagination is the source of the series ‘In My Next Incarnation, I Want to Be a B-Boy,’ in which she painted impossible-to-fulfill dreams.museumshttps://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/zacheta/exhibitions/krzysztof-gil-nikt-was-tu-nie-chce/Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:04:05 +0000https://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/zacheta/exhibitions/krzysztof-gil-nikt-was-tu-nie-chce/An exhibition by Krzysztof Gil, an artist of Polish-Romani background, about what the ghetto means today - not only the kind built from walls and political decisions, but the ghetto of imagination that forms in images and stereotypes before any real exclusion happens. The starting point is the artist’s own experience. Zachęta on the exhibition: Krzysztof Gil’s exhibition addresses the complex issue of the ghetto in its contemporary meaning. Historically, ghettos were physically separated parts of cities, often surrounded by walls and cut off from the rest of the urban space. Today, this concept primarily has a sociological dimension and refers to impoverished districts of large metropolises, inhabited by excluded groups who have limited access to social resources and a reduced standard of living.museumshttps://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/zacheta/exhibitions/dojrzewanie/Sat, 09 May 2026 15:09:31 +0000https://muzea.waw.pl/en/museums/zacheta/exhibitions/dojrzewanie/Coming of Age is a group exhibition about how contemporary art portrays the move from childhood to adulthood.
