How big is the African presence in Warsaw? DSH’s new exhibition endeavours to answer this question. The number of people from Africa in Warsaw is perhaps not as big as the number of visitors from Asia, but you can meet them more and more often in the streets of the capital.

The Exhibition is a reminder of the train of events which began on 25 June 1976 with strikes in Radom and in other provinces, following the announcement of drastic increases in food prices. Demonstrations and street clashes took place in Radom, Ursus and Płock and the Communist authorities reacted with brutal repressions.

An exhibition of little known but excellent works by two women photographers from Warsaw – Zofia Chomętowska and Maria Chrząszczowa, who documented the destruction and the rebuilding of Warsaw in the period  1945–47.

The exhibition is presented as part of a programme marking 20 years of partnership between Warsaw and Berlin, and Poland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, on the initiative of the Office of the City of Warsaw Historical Monuments Conservation Department and the Berlin City and Land Conservation Office.

The Exhibition 'Polish by choice. Families of German descent in 19th and 20th Century Warsaw' was shown in DSH in 2010 and can now be seen in Berlin at the Town Hall, Wandelhalle, Rathausstraße 15.

The exhibition consists of press photographs showing life in 1960s Poland – in Warsaw, in Polish holiday resorts and throughout the provinces – from Drohiczyn to Chełm Lubelski.

This exhibition, prepared by Warsaw historians, Jerzy S. Majewski and Tomasz Markiewicz, is devoted to the rebuilding of Warsaw in the post-war period.

The exhibition takes place in Father Twardowski Square (junction of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Karowa Street) and draws a picture of Poland’s role in bringing about democratic changes in Europe.
