Bozar has just inaugurated its two main spring exhibitions. For nearly six months, from February to August, these exhibitions will be open to visitors and resonate with the myriad projects unfolding within our walls. These exhibitions have taken time to develop, and we invite all visitors to explore the rich diversity and inspiring complexity of the work on display at their leisure. 

With Khoròs, Berlinde De Bruyckere now has her own major retrospective at Bozar! She opens her work to a conversation with various interlocutors, who both stimulate it and help it resonate strongly. At once inhabited and silent, her fascinating sculptural objects become the protagonists of astonishing dialogues. These dialogues evolve through a programme of films, performances, and literary events conceived with the artist.

The captivating journey through the history of African art, as explored in When We See Us, and the underlying issues of representation highlighted by the exhibition resonate with many aspects of our programme, notably the lengthy, festive, and reflective Afropolitan weekend and the Sofa Sessions, a new format for informal, interactive discussions between artists and curious visitors. This same resonance permeates the essence of our unmissable monthly evening events, Bozar all over the P(a)lace, which builds bridges, blends genres, and ignites discovery.

At the end of March, Bozar will present Familiar Strangers, a politically committed exhibition featuring various artists living and working in Poland. Eastern Europe is a complex, hybrid region where coexistence and shared values are vital.

At a time when some of the world’s leading politicians are seeking to divide our societies and discriminate against one another, it is essential to create spaces that foster exchange. This impactful, cross-disciplinary programme we have designed for you actively establishes connections between the arts, perspectives, forms, and ideas. Let’s share them together.
