Things that matter. City, people, environment
The Śluza Gallery is a space intended for holding temporary exhibitions. Through our exhibitions, we want to talk about contemporary Poznań and how it has been shaped by its past. We believe that the study of the local context enables us to address universal issues which are important not only here and now.
The exhibitions at the Śluza Gallery focus on three major themes.
Our main focal point is the city. We study the city as a place to live. We talk about its space, important buildings and stories behind them. We are also interested in human relationships and daily life.
We bear in mind that a city is not an anonymous creation. Behind its shape and development are always people and their needs. Through our exhibitions we tell the stories of both people living in the distant past and those from more recent times; the heroes of the well-known history and ordinary city dwellers.
We are also interested in the environment. We are inspired to raise the issues relating to nature by the close proximity of the Cybina River. We believe that by talking about nature we can help instil an attitude of respect for it and enhance a mindful approach to its protection.
We want the Śluza Gallery to be a space for exchanging thoughts and inspiring one another. We always invite experts and artists to cooperate with us. We hope that our exhibitions will provoke their visitors to engage in important conversations.
