Polish Archives Open House

Explore the power of resistance and grassroots democracy in Communist Poland through rare materials from the Wende’s Polish Underground Collection. From 12 to 5 p.m., guests are invited to engage with underground publications, political art, cartoons, and ephemera that trace the rise of the Solidarity movement.

At 2 p.m., join us for a special program with Dr. Shana Penn, author of Solidarity’s Secret and curator of the Wende’s Polish Solidarity Open Storage exhibit, and artist and former dissident Tomas Osinski. Together they will reflect on the movement’s history, the overlooked role of women, and the intersections of art and activism.

The afternoon concludes with a garden reception and continued access to the collection.
