The Polish Pavilion at Gwangju Biennale 2026

What happens when one chapter of life has come to an end, but the next has yet to begin? Rites of Passage, an exhibition organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute for the Polish Pavilion at Gwangju Biennale 2026, explores the experience of transition – both on a personal and a global scale.
