Join us for a talk on ‘The role of one’s place of birth in an artist’s biography’

The Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski Foundation invites you to a discussion event on the role of one’s place of birth in the life of an artist (and every person), the relationships between the periphery and the centre, and between the local, native (one’s ‘little homeland’) and global worlds.The starting point is the biography of Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski, who was born in Suwałki but achieved popularity, status, success and artistic maturity within the international artistic circles of nineteenth-century Munich.Such a life story raises many questions and issues to be addressed, particularly when considered in relation to the present day and the challenges currently faced by young people. We are able to invite you thanks to the fact that PODLASKIE SUPPORTS CULTURE.
