Ambergris is an excretion which forms in the internal organs of whales. It’s been used for centuries in production of perfume. It was also used in European medicine as a cure for headaches, flu, epilepsy. During the bubonic plague it was worn as a defensive measure against the rotten air which was believed to cause the illness.

This story begins a year ago (…). You organize a residency for artists from Arabic and Muslim countries, countries at war. You’re doing it without hope that the system will allow them to come. Paradoxically it turns out that it’s easier to bring their works than themselves, but you’re not showing their works, because that’s not the point. It’s all about the conversations. You become their signatory. You talk about them and you record these talks to send them out. You ask Polish artists for responses, copies and confrontations. It’s not a dialogue, but a symbolic exchange. A construction that doesn’t stop growing.(…) – a fragment of Ania Batko’s and Kamil Kuitkowski’s text. The works were created in a symbolic dialogue with the following artists:: Ahemd Mater, Sadeh Raeda, Amar Abd Rabbo, Ashraf Fawakhry, Khaled Jarar, Mohamad -Said Baalbaki, Jawad Al Malhi, Mustafa Sabbagh, Diana Al-Hadid, Houmam Al Sayed, Sfwan Dahoul, Nihad Al Turk, Ahmet Ogut, Hrair Sarkissian, Tammam Azzam, Ammar Al-Beik, Khaled Takreti, Emily Jacir, Ahmed Al Safi, Amer Shomali, Hani Zurob, Mona Hatoum, Modhir Ahmed.

The ‘Between words, between worlds’ exhibition talks about thoughts and feelings we’ve experienced during the isolation. Thoughts and feelings we are unable to name. It also reflects on us and the place we’ve found ourselves – between two worlds – one before the pandemic and one during it. This is also why the exhibition is presented in closed glass cases in which separate worlds (interworlds) lead to the creation of artistic pairs. It is also a dialogue between generations, an exhibition about relationships, turning towards ourselves and nature.

Poznań is my hometown which I left when I finished my education. In 1973, with a Painting and Fabric diploma from the PWSSP I moved to Cracow. I found a place for myself in Kazimierz – a district which to this day is able to inspire me and my art. The presentation shown is a part of my second exhibition about a district gradually losing its unique atmosphere. I see a lot of buildings abandoned and in poor condition. I see people leaving, often not willingly. ‘Goodbye, my Kazimierz’ is my farewell to the place which I am not leaving.

Selected fragments of Cracow’s public space become a starting point for artists’ own stories. This space is a medium for creating a narration. Edited in 3D modelling software real places turn to fantastic visions, referring to their meanings and their uses. These virtual spaces create an alternative city.

‘not having/not having much’ are expressions of not fitting and can be applied to a place, a situation, a moment in time and diverse artistic attitudes. The pandemic has stopped some of our activities and limited the rest. We have lost direct contact with each other and ability to work creatively.
Works presented in the exhibition were created in isolation, without any connections. They create a kind of a walk through authors’ thoughts. Autonomic spaces of creative research, not always inspired by the pandemic, are certainly echoes of it. The exhibition is an attempt to bring back the lost ability to be a part of a community, despite obvious diversities.

Multidimensional, interdisciplinary, multimedia exhibition and process, showing practices and works in both material and immaterial form, a permanent and unstable. It’s a combination of visual arts, performances, aleatoric (but not only) music and thoughts resulting from deep ecology, eco-egzistentialism, ecofeminism and queer environmentalism. Artists of various genres join together in a show containing themselves, their works – paintings, videos, VR, animations, installations and performances – and progressive critique methods as part of a required auto reflection introducing a change of consciousness.

The destruction of Cieszynska 9, happened in line with the societal, ecological and epidemiological disaster. The building, unprotected by the city, was torn down to make place for some more soulless apartments. This loss generated an impulse, it forced residents to disperse. A void was created, a seed was planted. A collective database, a set of memories needed to be analyzed, negotiated and collected. From the fall there is hope. Collective memory is collected memory, is communicated memory.
