The exhibition maps themes relating to the fragmentation of today's world and confronts viewers with political conflicts and their impact on people's everyday lives.
The artistic works address violence and oppression of women resulting from patriarchal traditions and the collapse of political and religious power structures.
The exhibition deals with the fragments of these broken realities, but at the same time shows solidarity with those affected and calls for action by sensitively focusing on those who otherwise receive little visibility.
Participating artists:
Sophia Pompéry, Sandra del Pilar, Mehtap Baydu, Katarzyna Józefowicz, Anka Lesniak, Anna Królikiewicz, Dorota Nieznalska, Hanna Nowicka, Agata Nowosielska, Hanna ShumskaThe exhibition was created in collaboration with the State Art Gallery in Sopot, where it was on display from 7 June to 24 August 2025.
