The Centre of Gravity: Women's Congress 2026 Exhibition Opens in Kraków
A new exhibition titled 'The Centre of Gravity' is set to debut on September 4, 2026, at 6 PM during the Women’s Congress 2026. Curated by Weronika Ptak, the showcase will spotlight the work of ten artists, including Andreea Anghel and Michalina Bigaj. Visual identity for the exhibition has been crafted by Agata Biskup. The event addresses the historical undervaluation of crafts like textiles and ceramics, often associated with women. Since the 1960s, female artists have utilized these mediums to assert their presence in the art world, with NEWEAST promoting their significance through this exhibition.
