Art Cafe “Pod Pretekstem” — debut

A small venue, a full room, and a lot of emotion. The real beginning of “Pan Miś’s Planet”.

Year 2023 City Wałbrzych, Art Cafe “Pod Pretekstem” Status debut exhibition

Story

We truly didn’t know how to behave. The air was dense with tears and laughter. That evening, Bartek Kosiński (director of the documentary about “Pan Miś’s Planet”) started gathering footage — the project is still ongoing.

The show happened thanks to Michał’s persistence, some luck, and the kindness of caregivers from the County Self-Help Center in Wałbrzych (Ogrodowa Street). At their initiative, Ms. Joanna invited us to present the work publicly for the first time. Michał’s dream of his own exhibition — fulfilled.

This was also the start of a parallel track: collecting material for a film. More about the project & call for materials: /project/film/

Thanks

Joanna Kostrzewska (owner of the venue) — for trust; the ladies from the County Self-Help Center — for the initiative; Barbara Szeligowska — for the “good omen” of that headline: “Wałbrzyski Nikifor.”
