Exhibition: Between/Inter by Basia Sokołowska
Between/Inter by Basia Sokołowska is the title of an exhibition prepared as part of the Vintage Photo Festival at the Nicolaus Copernicus University Museum (M. Rapacki Square), the opening of which will take place on October 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM.
The exhibition will feature 30 photographs by Basia Sokołowska from four series: Interior/Apartment (1993), Beyond Surface (1994), Ars Moriendi (1998), and Tissues/Adaptation (2005). The works draw on the tradition of still life and explore the duality of the world of dreams and reality, crossing internal barriers and maturing, transience, the cyclical nature of life and death, and adaptation on many levels and in many contexts. They reveal the transformations taking place in the artist's life and psyche, the multi-layered nature of the world around her. Veiled and mysterious, they evoke curiosity and anxiety, resonating. They engage emotionally and physically. They create a mood, are honest, and open to interpretation. The artist uses collage techniques, creates spatial photographic compositions, highlights detail, color, and texture, and stages them.
All works in the exhibition are a gift from Basia Sokołowska to the University Museum in Toruń. The exhibition will be on view until February 13, 2026.
What do we wish for?
‘What do we wish for?’ is the title of a Christmas exhibition prepared by the Department of Graphic Design at Nicolaus Copernicus University, which will be on display in front of the Collegium Maximum building. The official opening of the poster exhibition is scheduled for 19 November at 11:30 a.m. at the University Museum in Toruń.
Students and lecturers from the Department of Graphic Design have prepared a series of posters that refer to one of the most characteristic Christmas traditions - making wishes. The entire exhibition is a collection of different voices, and each work is like a mirror, reflecting what we really want for ourselves. It reminds us that sometimes the best wishes are those that begin with ourselves.
The new exhibition continues the idea of the previous exhibition entitled ‘Everyone has their own Toruń’, which was very well received by the residents of Toruń and tourists. The works will be on display at Rapacki Square until 2 February 2026.
