Past projects

We believe that knowledge and culture have much to offer and can serve as a platform for mutual conversation and formulating an outlook for the future. We also want to create a space for experimentation and exploration for people working in art and involved in research work. We are interested in non-obvious forms and formats in projects that bridge local practice and global discourse.

My Back Tells the Story. Narratives of women with scoliosis

We are taking the subject of scoliosis out of hospitals and doctors' surgeries and into the public space. The exhibition is the result of five months of meetings aimed at creating a space to share the experience of being a woman with scoliosis. During this participatory process, we met other women with the condition for the first time.

It’s just chaos!

The slogan “It’s just chaos!” is more than the title of an exhibition presented at the WOK Lab space. Each of the exhibited works is an attempt to tell the story of the process of the emergence of an idea and the experience of young artists from the Młodzieżowa Koalicja Performatywna [Youth Performative Coalition].

Connections

As part of our partnership with Fundacja Stocznia, we are showing the exhibition Connections at WOK Lab. This exhibition is about connections. About combining art with activism, about creating conditions for collective action, but also about constructing narratives that help bridge different contexts. We believe in the importance of polyphony, but also in the search for common ground.
