{Live} – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

• On Wednesday, 27 August 2025, we invite you to the next event in the {Live} series. Our guest will be Zorka Wollny – an interdisciplinary artist, director, and choreographer of performative actions created in collaboration with musicians, actors, dancers, and local communities.

Her practice unfolds at the crossroads of the visual arts, theatre, activism, and contemporary music. Wollny explores the voice and body as instruments of expression and public debate, responding to the history and functions of specific sites – from museums to abandoned buildings. She creates performances that often evolve into temporary communities, involving participants in the creative process and endowing it with a social dimension.

{Live}

• Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences. 

• We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices. 

• Why take part? 
  • In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it. 
    • The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art. 
  • The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
