„Przytul Polskę” – exhibition for families in Gdańsk

Again, we had the pleasure to design the exhibition in cooperation with the Mamy Mamy collective: Małgosia Żmijska and Joanna Studzińska, specializing in exhibitions. After previous work on Ekoeksperymentarium in Katowice and Ekoeksperymentarium vol.2 in Łódź, the time has come for an exhibition devoted to Poland.

The girls made an attempt to look at Poland from a family perspective. “Polishness, culture, language, civic attitude – these are matters that are not always easy to talk with adults, let alone children, that’s why we focused on creating such a space where families, while having fun together, could reflect on this topic. The exhibition does not give any answers, but encourages everyone to seek their own answers to important questions. ‘We want to talk to children about Poland without embellishment, but with sympathy and a sense of humor’ say the curators.

The exhibition tackled various issues in a child-friendly way, encouraging them to be active and creative. Through creative activities and tasks, adults and children were invited to talk about important issues, such as citizenship, community or constitution, but also about basic and everyday ones, such as cuisine, language or nature.

Entering the exhibition, one could notice an information board with a portal of white and red ribbons, which encouraged them to plunge between them.

In “Fan Corner” it was possible to take funny pictures of themselves with fan scarves, in a hat in the shape of a ski jump with funny glasses and bushy mustache.
