Until 9 March 2026 at the POLIN Museum
The great sculptor Alina Szapocznikow (1926–1973) combined her experience of the Holocaust, the fragility of the body and the courage to experiment in her work. Two of her sculptures from 1962, ‘Vowel’ and ‘Consonant,’ are on display at the museum. A Holocaust survivor, she studied in Prague and Paris before developing her artistic career in Poland and France. The exhibition is complemented by a screening of films about the artist.
