As part of the events closing the exhibitions “Homing” and “In Ukraine” the ICC invited visitors to curator’s tours, thematically-focused tours, and guided tours. We also offerred the catalogue “Homing. Włodzimierz Puchalski” and our collectible posters at promotional prices.

The lecture was themed on the work of artists who – before the war – created in different European countries and were part of different artistic environments. The 1st World War became their common experience.

Our humanity is measured by how we treat the deceased, their remains and their memory. The matter is simple when we talk about our loved ones who are usually remembered and revered. In such cases it is clear what belongs exclusively to us, what does not, and what is shared with others. However, things get more complicated when we think about the legacy of the Great War in the territory of former West Galicia.

The lecture will be devoted to the Paris artistic environment from the second half of 19th century . It refers to the exhibiiton “ Masters of Dreams. Symbolism in the Bohemian Lands 1880–1914 ”, presented at the ICC Gallery in 2014.  

Polish architecture of the early stages of democratic transition is a controversial phenomenon. It is often perceived as marked by clumsy designs, wasted architectural opportunities, and architects’ conceit and pretentiousness.

After the absence caused by the pandemic, the International Cultural Centre will again be selling its books at the Fair.

What do the animals from Włodzimierz Puchalski’s photographs tell us? We invited you to shift the perspective and take a new look at nature.

Photographs evoke emotions, they affect us. They are what inspires us to think. Intellect and reflection always come after the image, right after the affect. What kind of experience, what  kind of memory are formed by photographs? What constitutes their narrative layer?

On 18th October the first discussion of the Central European Book Club: “War is not only a man's business” took place .

During the walk we visited the visible-invisible places located in different city districts. Although the buildings can be seen, when we get by we often do not realise what was their original function.

Central and Eastern European countries constantly fascinate contemporary photographers. In their documentary series they demonstrate contradictions, political and economic metamorphoses as well as everyday life in post-Soviet countries.

Does the attentive eye of Włodzimierz Puchalski only reflect the nature of things, or does it see more, or see things differently? Is a naturalist able to see the observed world through an artistic lens to perceive something other than the laws of nature? We invited you to join our guests at a meeting dedicated to the reflection on the artistic aspect of Puchalski's photography.

Homing can be understood as immersion, as a human return to Nature which is a “lost” home. However, the question remains: how to find Nature in the middle of the city?
