The exhibition \u2018West of Lumumbowo\u2019 tells the story of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a as seen from the perspective of places that once bustled with multicultural life. The inspiration for the exhibition was the legendary Academic Housing Estate, known as Lumumbowo \u2013 a meeting place for \u0141\u00f3d\u017a students and young people from Asia, Africa and Europe. It was there that friendships were formed, artistic communities developed and a sense of the city as a melting pot of cultures emerged. <\/p>\n\n
The author of the project is Edwin Dekker, a Dutch interior designer who wrote his master’s thesis in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a in the early 1990s on the city during the period of transformation. Today, he divides his time between Rotterdam and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. He returns to Galeria Wschodnia after many years to interpret the experience of the city in motion through photography and architecture \u2013 balancing between the centre and the periphery, memory and the present. <\/p>\n\n
For those interested in the history of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and its multicultural heritage, for lovers of contemporary art, photography and architectural experiments. The exhibition will appeal to students, young people, adults and seniors \u2013 anyone who wants to look at the city from a different perspective. <\/p>\n\n
\u2018West of Lumumbowo\u2019 is not only an exhibition, but also a cultural bridge. Dekker confronts his own memories with the experience of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a in the process of transformation and revitalisation. His works reflect on what constitutes the centre and the periphery, how local communities are born, and how fleeting the memory of a place can be. It is an opportunity to rediscover \u0141\u00f3d\u017a \u2013 as a city that has always thrived on diversity and cultural dialogue. <\/p>\n\n
The gallery is located on the first floor of a tenement building, and the entrance requires climbing stairs \u2014 there is no lift. <\/p>\n\n
There are public transport stops near the building: Rewolucji 1905r.-Wschodnia, Pomorska – pl. Wolno\u015bci, Zachodnia – Pr\u00f3chnika.<\/p>\n\n
