Triple exhibition opening: Siegieda, Krassowski, and Photographic Publication of the Year

For decades, Czesław Siegieda’s photographs remained – for important reasons – hidden away. We invite you to the artist’s first solo exhibition in Poland. On the same day, we will present photobooks recognised in the FPR competition, as well as an online exhibition of Witold Krassowski’s Naughty Nineties.
