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.

opening: 16th of march, 18:30h

at Warsaw Observatory of Culture (WOK), Marszałkowska 34/50, Warsaw, Poland

Combining artistic endeavor with social engagement

We present a selection of projects that in various ways combine artistic endeavor with social engagement. Each piece is accompanied by a brief description, which may serve as inspiration for conducting similar actions.

The use of creative tools serves as a pretext for interaction, but also as a means of expressing emotions, or telling one’s own story. Sometimes it’s important to create a specific form, sometimes the process can be the goal itself.

As part of the exhibition, on Saturday 16.03, at 16:00, we invite you to the workshop A Little Weight I Need led by Pamela Bożek.

The workshop is an opportunity to share experiences of tension release, calming, sensory integration and recovery – both in the context of collaboration and in the context of our own daily, domestic, caring practices. It is a practical workshop for adults and for those working with children. All necessary materials are provided.

Participants are encouraged to sign up for the workshop via the form.
