An exhibition of works by female students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków runs 8–27 March 2026 at Galeria Domu Norymberskiego, part of the fifth HERstoria series coinciding with International Women’s Day.

The exhibition “HERstoria sztuki V. Dzień Kobiet” brings together new work by emerging women artists in Kraków, running from 8 to 27 March 2026. The show, curated from student projects, highlights contemporary directions in sculpture and intermedia practice and is timed to coincide with International Women’s Day — making it a focal moment for conversations about gender and art in Poland.

About the exhibition

The works on display come from the Pracowni Intermedialnego Rozszerzenia Warsztatu Rzeźbiarskiego ASP w Krakowie, a studio within the Akademia Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie (ASP) that explores cross-disciplinary approaches to sculpture — combining materials, moving image, sound, performance and digital techniques. This is the fifth edition of the “HERstoria sztuki” cycle; the presentation at Galeria Domu Norymberskiego (located at ul. Skałeczna 2) showcases student projects that often test the boundaries between object-based practice and ephemeral, time-based media.

Why this matters for expats and visitors

For an international audience, the show offers a window into how a leading Polish art academy is teaching contemporary artistic practice to a new generation of women artists. The timing around Dzień Kobiet (International Women’s Day) is culturally resonant in Poland: while the day has different social connotations and traditions here than in some other countries, it is widely observed and often used as an occasion for exhibitions, talks and performances that address gender, history and representation.

What to expect and who is exhibiting

Expect varied media and experimental installations rather than a conventional sculpture-only show. The “intermedial extension” mentioned by the studio title means works may include video projections, sound components, interactive elements or performance-based events alongside carved, cast or assembled pieces. Because the participating artists are students, the exhibition can also be read as an indicator of future directions in Poland’s contemporary art scene.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: “Pracownia” means a studio or workshop; ASP is the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, one of Poland’s major art schools. “Dzień Kobiet” is International Women’s Day (8 March) and is commonly observed in Poland with cultural events. Small municipal galleries like Galeria Domu Norymberskiego often host student and community shows — openings (vernissages) are typically free and may include informal talks, but check local listings for exact hours. Many galleries in Kraków close on Mondays; bring a simple phrasebook or use English — staff at academic and municipal galleries often speak some English but program notes may be in Polish.
