Fifth edition of the Annual Art Festival "VOR/WIOSNA" at the Slaturhusid Icelandic Art Center curated by Wiola Ujazdowska and Ragnhildur Ásvaldsdóttir. In its sixth edition, VOR / WIOSNA Festival brings together contemporary art and migration stories from and about the Polish diaspora in Iceland and beyond. Held in the remote town of Egilsstaðir, in the east of Iceland, the festival is both a celebration of cultural hybridity and a response to the needs of the local Polish community, which in some towns makes up nearly one quarter of the population. This year’s main exhibition, titled “Migration is life,” explores the multifaceted experience of displacement—economic, political, historical. Featured artists include internationally recognized names such as Rafał Milach / A.P.P ( Archive of Public Protest), who documents protests against Poland’s harsh immigration policy; Bart Urbański, whose work critically dissects media portrayals of Polish migrants in the UK; and Andrii and Lia Dostliev, Ukrainian artists who represented Ukraine at the Venice Biennale 2024. Their work, Comfort Work, questions sanitized, Western-friendly narratives about refugees.
The festival’s visual identity was designed by artist and graphic designer Kaja Kusztra, and Dr. Zofia Nierodzińska will conduct a month-long artistic research residency in Egilsstaðir focusing on the Polish community in the region.

"Monument to Migration. How to connect history with memory" is a series of events initiated by Lesia Pcholka and Gustaw Nawrocki, and curated by Zofia nierodzińska as part of the Three Seas Festival at MOS in Gorzów Wielkopolski.
On 7.06 (Saturday) the workshop and exhibition by Lesia Pcholka and discussion with Zuzanna Hertzberg, Elżbieta Mirga-Wójtowicz, Lesia Pczolka and Robert Piotrowski moderated by Zofia nierodzinska will take place. The workshop and subsequent discussion aim to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas between people with migration experience and those belonging to ethnic minorities. The workshop will begin with the forgotten history of women at war. The discussion, on the other hand, will recall the stories of migrants that are most often overlooked by settled, land-bound national narratives. The meeting aims to revive memories of Central and Eastern Europe's multicultural history, particularly in Poland and Gorzów Wielkopolski, previously Landsberg an der Warthe.
