Accessible Sunday with Romanian exhibition at the ICC

On March 30, the International Cultural Centre in Cracow invites you to an Accessible Sunday with the exhibition “One Eye Laughing, the Other Crying. Art From Romania in the Ovidiu Șandor Collection”. The event will include two guided tours: with translation into Polish Sign Language and with live audiodescription. It will also be possible to receive assistance from an assistant.  

One of the most interesting collections of contemporary art in Central Europe will be on view during Accessible Sunday. Together with guides, participants will take a guided tour to look at works of art that mirror human destinies. They will learn the story of creative freedom and constraints, the absurd and the grotesque, the triumphs and traumas of the 20th century, which still resonate in contemporary art.

Accessible Sunday is a recurring event that fosters the integration of ICC audiences and invites everyone to participate fully in cultural life.
