Art History Festival for the academic community and the general public<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Art History Festival, which was one of the topics of the meeting, is organized by the National Institute for Art History and the Palace of Fontainebleau at the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture. It always revolves around a single theme \u2013 in 2027, it will be \u201cmagic\u201d \u2013 and a guest of honor, which is a selected country \u2013 in this case, Poland. It features approximately 250 events: conferences, debates, film screenings, exhibitions, book and magazine presentations, workshops, and other types of events, including those for younger audiences. The festival\u2019s goal is to showcase the richness of the visual arts across various periods. The event is aimed at both researchers and the general public. In connection with Poland\u2019s guest-of-honor status, the organizers are inviting cultural and academic institutions from our country to collaborate. The festival typically includes meetings and workshops for young experts. A selected group of doctoral students first meets in the guest-of-honor country or in Paris, and then in Fontainebleau, to establish contacts with a broad network of individuals specializing in art history, museology, and cultural heritage. This program, designed to facilitate the exchange of experiences, is intended to make a significant contribution to the academic and professional development of the project\u2019s participants, while broadening their international perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Representatives from the National Institute for Art History traveled to Krak\u00f3w, among other places, to work on the festival\u2019s academic program and to establish contacts with a broad network of people specializing in issues related to art history, museology, and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The France\u2013Poland Season 2027 and Europe as a Shared Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Collaboration within the framework of the upcoming edition of the Art History Festival coincides with the France\u2013Poland Season 2027, which will be organized in France by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in collaboration with the Polish Institute in Paris, and in Poland by the French Institute in collaboration with the French Embassy in Poland. The season will begin in the second half of February; the joint program will take place simultaneously in Poland and France, creating a space for dialogue, collaboration, and encounters between artists, cultural sector representatives, and the public. The French National Institute for Art History and the ICC are also collaborating on this event, as part of one of the season\u2019s four thematic areas: \u201cEurope as a Shared Space.\u201d This theme invites young researchers to reflect on Europe in the context of multiple identities, the relationship between the center and the periphery, borders, heritage, and their contemporary transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Institute for Art History is coordinating the EVA project (\u201cVisual Arts in Europe: An Open History\u201d), which aims to present, in the form of an online platform, an extensive collection of 470 objects and images gathered through international dialogue, taking into account the diversity of scholarly traditions. Poland is represented in the project by the ICC and the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences, which will participate in organizing a seminar on the topic, scheduled for September 2027. This event will take place as part of the France-Poland Season 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On October 22, 2026, representatives of the French National Institute for Art History (INHA: Institut national d’histoire de l’art) – Aniela Cornet, Dr. Sophie Goetzmann, and Dr. Elsa Guyot – visited the International Cultural Centre in Krak\u00f3w.
