Ornamenty kobiecości – wystawa Ewy Żochowskiej w opracowaniu studentek historii sztuki

Place of the event: Franciszkańska 1/5, 91-433 Łódź
When: 01 February 2025 (Saturday) 18:00 - 20:00

Exhibition by Ewa Zochowska entitled "Ornaments of Femininity" will inaugurate the next year of the activity of Wozownia 1/5 – the University of Lodz gallery. The exhibition is the result of a curatorial collaboration between three students of History of Art from the Faculty of Philosophy and History at the University of Lodz and a painter from Lodz. The opening will take place on 1 February 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the gallery on Franciszkańska 1/5.

The presentation of the works of the artist from Lodz – Ewa Żochowska is an invitation to take part in a spiritual journey into the depths of femininity. In this narrative, we are guided by the colours of the paintings and the faces of women that appear in the works, often hidden under various ornaments. The artist's paintings presented at the exhibition will show us that everyone has an element of femininity within them.

The initiative is another activity in the artistic field of our university. During the preparation of the exhibition, in addition to collecting works of art, curatorial care is an essential element of the process. The exhibition "Ornaments of Femininity" was developed by three first-year students of MA History of Art studies at the University of Lodz.

Gabriela Brodziak, Małgorzata Francuz and Zuzanna Amelia Jagła selected nearly 30 works from the artist's rich oeuvre and formulated an original curatorial concept. In addition to the paintings, the exhibition will feature poetic texts that create a coherent whole with the paintings. Ewa Żochowska gave the young art history students complete freedom in their actions – by subjecting her work to a thorough analysis – she demonstrated great trust and openness.

The exhibition is an incentive to practice curatorial skills at the University of Lodz. It is also an extension of the preparation of people studying History of Art. for independent activities in the field of implementing curatorial projects in the future

– says dr hab. Aneta Pawłowska, leading the Master's seminar and a supervisor of students involved in the project.

The team of the Centre for Organising Cultural Events and Conferences of the University of Lodz is also providing assistance in the activities.

The university is both a teaching and culture-forming institution. Within the broadly understood cultural activities, we also try to provide space for creative activities of the academic community, to include students so as to enable them to carry out the creative and organisational process in practice

– notes Jolanta Sławińska-Ryszka from the Centre for Organising Cultural Events and Conferences of the University of Lodz

At the University of Lodz, we appreciate the value of art, and through this type of projects, we enable young people to freely realize various ideas and artistic-creative activities

– adds Maciej Andrzejewski from the University of Lodz Centre for Brand Communications, an artist and a curator cooperating on the project.
