The “Records of Waiting” exhibition, transforming the intangible experience of the passing of time into the material substance of a sculpture installation will be opened on 5 June in the Polish Pavilion at the London Design Biennale 2025. The curatorial team made up of Jakub Gawkowski, Monika Rosińska and Maciej Siuda draws on the woodcarving traditions of Poland’s mountain regions and uses ornaments to visually represent the process of waiting. Waiting is considered to be both a purely aesthetic and political experience. It is deemed a tool for exercising control, but also a potential empowerment enabler. The exhibition organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute will be open until 29 June 2025.

The first solo exhibition of Sainer (Przemysław Blejzyk) in Austria – “Kolorganism” – will open on 16 April 2025. Works combining painting and digital generative art will be presented at Vienna’s Künstlerhaus. This is yet another event organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of international cultural programme of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council.

The World Expo 2025 Osaka will be accompanied by a unique cultural programme under the slogan Po!land ポ！ランド, organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. AMI has just announced first events of the programme that will continue until October 2025.

From 14 March onwards an exhibition ‘Familiar Strangers. Eastern Europeans’, which takes a look at the transformations in Eastern Europe from the perspective of artists living in Poland, will be available to viewers at Bozar– Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels. The exposition gives voice to persons from diasporas and minorities and those who broaden the perception of the public sphere through art and activism. The exhibition accompanies the international cultural programme of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2025 and will last until 29 June.
