SZEWSKA is a series of nine double-sided display windows located on Szewska Street (between Kotlarska and Nożownicza Streets) in Wrocław.

The gallery hosts an average of eight exhibitions per year—both original projects and collaborations with external partners.

The street gallery Szewska Pasja was established in 2010. Since 2011, the project has been co-funded by the City of Wrocław. The gallery was founded by Julia Janowska. In its first year, the curatorial direction was led by Ewa Kaszewska, followed by Tomasz Broda from 2011 to 2020. In 2021, the gallery came under the management of the Art Transparent Foundation.

Under the stewardship of the Art Transparent Foundation, the gallery’s mission is to showcase and promote the most compelling phenomena in young Polish contemporary art, while also referencing the legacy of the local avant-garde. As a result, exhibitions of emerging artists are interwoven with presentations of work by senior figures associated with the former PWSSP (now the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław), the Wrocław Group, and the Wrocław ’70 Visual Arts Symposium.

SZEWSKA operates in close connection with another key exhibition and educational project of the Art Transparent Foundation: the contemporary art gallery Mieszkanie Gepperta.
