Polish Posters Now! Polski Plakat Dziś!
Works from four of the country’s best contemporary poster artists – Ola Jasionowska, Patrycja Longawa, Kaja Renkas, and Maja Wolna – representing the breadth of Poland’s current poster scene.
As Poland emerged from the Second World War, with heavily bomb-damaged streets lined with fences, a celebrated school of Polish graphic designers saw an opportunity for this grey expanse to become an open-air gallery. Through posters noted for their originality and surreal flair, they injected colour and hope into the world. In the 21st century, Polish graphic design innovation is alive and well, often visible on hoardings which today mask extensive urban development. Four of the best contemporary artists, Ola Jasionowska, Patrycja Longawa, Kaja Renkas, and Maja Wolna represent the breadth of today’s talent.
Supported by The Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the installation is part of the UK/ Poland Season 2025.
