The “Records of Waiting” exhibition, transforming the intangible experience of the passing of time into the material substance of a sculpture installation, has been 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.

Another year of the Poland-Romania and Romania-Poland Cultural Season 2024-2025 – the first ever cultural cooperation between these countries with such an outreach – begins. From classical music, through contemporary interpretations of traditions, performative arts, theatre, visual arts, photography, and design, to literature – intense months laden with events are awaiting the Polish and Romanian audiences. Owing to the relationships established last year, the programme will be enriched with joint projects brought to life by Polish and Romanian artists.

The exhibition Peace Has No Home: Posters for Ukraine will be on display at Public Works Gallery in Chicago from September 8 to November 18, 2023. Works by artists from Poland and other countries, created, among others, as part of the 33 Letters for Ukraine project, express the support of the artistic community for the country attacked by Russia. The exhibition was prepared by The Spirit of Poland Foundation, Public Works Gallery and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in cooperation with the Polish Institute in New York.
