How to Talk to the Weather Demons / Accompanying program

You are warmly invited to the accompanying programme of the group exhibition How to Talk to the Weather Demons on Thursday, 23 April from 6 pm.

The evening will begin with a guided tour of the exhibition led by curator Joanna Glinkowska, followed by the launch of a small catalogue.This will be followed by a meeting with Katarzyna Roj, Programme Director of BWA Wrocław, who will discuss nature-culture spaces where water acts as a primary agent of regeneration. Drawing on seemingly disparate examples – from health rituals in Lower Silesian sanatoriums to the natural sewage farm in Wrocław – Roj will explore how water fosters resilience within both ecosystems and the human psyche.

Following the meeting, we will dive into the aesthetics of communist-era Poland, retracing the steps of As (Ace), a superhero on a mission to solve a bizarre mystery involving disappearing water, in the film Hydrozagadka (1970), directed by Andrzej Kondratiuk.
