Please note: The call for papers is conducted exclusively in Polish.
We invite proposals for presentations at a nationwide conference dedicated to one of the important yet insufficiently researched figures of twentieth-century Polish art – Hanna Krzetuska (1903–1999), painter, co-creator of the post-war artistic milieu of Wrocław, and member of the Wrocław Group.
The conference will take place in Wrocław in the autumn of 2026. It forms part of the two-year research and exhibition project “Hanna Krzetuska. The Painting Must Resonate, Though It Makes No Sound”, organized by the Art Transparent Foundation.
In autumn 2027, the project will culminate in the first monographic exhibition of Krzetuska’s work since her death. The exhibition will be presented across the spaces of the Mieszkanie Geppertów Gallery, the OP ENHEIM House for Culture, and the Wrocław City Museum. A comprehensive accompanying catalogue will also be published, including, among other contributions, selected texts developed from conference presentations.
The conference is conceived as an interdisciplinary and open forum. We welcome both traditional art-historical approaches and perspectives rooted in herstory, archival studies, social history, conservation, museum studies, anthropology, memory studies, and research on the post-war formation of artistic communities. We are particularly interested in proposals focusing on figures, research perspectives, and narratives that have remained at the margins of conventional art history.
