Between the 14th of April and 14th of May, 2023, the Cultural Events Office of the Institute of National Remembrance is organizing the 1st ‘Sztuka źle obecna’ Festival, which will be dedicated to artists excluded and censored by the communist authorities in Poland. The festival will take place in seven cities (Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Łódź, Cracow, Nysa and Jelenia Góra. Admission free!
The art that will be presented during the festival carried a rebellion against enslavement, very often referred to personal experiences related to the repressions suffered by Polish society in the years 1945-1990. The festival aims to bring back the memory of artists such as Andrzej Panufnik, Antoni Szałowski, Stefan Kisielewski, Roman Palester, Roman Padlewski, Tadeusz Zygfryd Passern and Stefan Behr, so that their work, once discredited and overlooked, will be reborn from the ashes and gain its rightful place in the canon of Polish music.
