We’d like to invite you to the Alter Ego exhibition. The exhibition consists of artistic works by the finalists of the Alter Ego competition including two finalists from Poland: Patryk Iwanek and Joanna Socha.
Alter Ego is one of the seven flagship projects chosen by the European Commission to celebrate the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. Young people (14–18 years old) were encouraged to explore different and varied identities in their local communities by creating a double portrait using video, photographs, text, music, etc. Each double portrait comprises a self portrait alongside a portrait of a person from a different background and tradition.
Come and see how the theme of different cultures, traditions, backgrounds and languages was exploited by young people from around Europe.
The exhibition is accompanied by educational materials for teachers to use in the classroom – a lesson scenario prepared by Iga Kazimierczyk from the Centre for Citizenship Education (CEO).
The exhibition will tour 11 cities in Poland. Now you may visit the exhibition in Warsaw in Biblioteka Publiczna on Koszykowa 26/28 on Monday – Friday 8.00-21.00; Saturday 9.00-15.00; Sunday 9.00-14.00 admission free.
