Beginning in January 2025, Polish art and culture will take centre stage all across Europe. In celebration of Poland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union, between January and June 2025, nearly 100 cultural events such as concerts, plays, exhibitions, film screenings, and literary events will take place in more than 20 European countries. Organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute under the motto “Culture Sparks Unity”, the programme will showcase the most exciting trends in contemporary Polish art, focusing on the new, emerging generation of artists. The events, which will be held in both EU member and potential member states, are aimed to promote the notion of solidarity and international collaboration.

From 10 December 2024 viewers in Tokyo will have an opportunity to experience the artistic accomplishments of one of Poland’s most distinguished directors, Academy Award winner Andrzej Wajda. The monographic exhibition “Wajda” dedicated to the director will be accompanied by a review of selected films, which will run until 26 December 2024. Both events will be held at the National Film Archive of Japan in Tokyo and are the result of cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Manggha Museum in Krakow.

The representatives of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) within the network of Institutes operating on Estonian territory will hold a meeting on the initiative of the foreign service staff of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland and the Embassy of Spain in Tallinn. The Adam Mickiewicz Institute, which promotes Polish culture abroad and cooperates with EUNIC member organisations, has been invited to participate in this event.
