Join us for the closing event of Uncaptive Mind, an exhibition featuring posters from the Polish School of Posters created during the communist era. These striking works carry subliminal messages of freedom and resistance that were largely overlooked by censors. The exhibition showcases the creativity and resilience of artists who navigated oppressive systems to express subversive ideas. Celebrate the closing with an evening of reflection, discussion and connection as we explore the power of art in challenging authoritarianism.
