Hosted by Natalia Siuchta

The tour will be conducted in Polish Sign Language (PJM) with translation into Polish.

We invite you to a tour of the exhibition Alina Szapocznikow/Naira Baghramian in Zachęta — National Gallery of Art. During the tour we will see the works of two artists: Alina Szapocznikow - a Polish sculptor, and Naira Baghramian - an artist from Iran, living in Germany. Artists created at different times. However, their work has many common themes. Both artists were interested in the human body, its appearance and possibilities. In their works they also talked about illness, transience, the senses and the experience of the body.

The exhibition will include sculptures, drawings, graphics and photographs by Alina Szapocznikow. There will also be sculptures by Naira Baghramian. During the tour we will learn more about the artists and their work. We will also talk about how their art can be interpreted.
