On May 18, 2024 the gallery will be open between 12pm-5pm
Also as part of the Night of Museums 8pm-12am (free admission)
As part of the 20th edition of Night of Museums, the exhibition “Butterfly Resistance: Haiti” will be open until midnight. At 12pm the same day, there is also an artist talk by Pascale Monnin.
Spirituality present in several aspects of Haitian social life – religion, collectivity, political engagement or contact with nature – is the central theme of the exhibition. Providing the Polish audience with a context and a more familiar point of view, the exhibition showcases works by contemporary Polish artists alongside Haitian works, as well as pieces from the Galeria Studio collection. They illustrate similar phenomena present in this culture without referring directly to Haiti; illustrating, for instance, the themes of dance, ritual and the power of collective action, we present works strongly associated with religion, in particular Haitian vodou, as well as a more secular perspective of traditional Polish folk dances.
