EXHIBITION
THE UNDAUNTED. TALES OF POZNAN CRAFT
Who are contemporary craftsmen and craftswomen? What kind of businesses do they run? How do they function in today’s globalised world? We worked with Marcin Muth and collected the stories of ten Poznan craft workshops which have been in business in our city for many years and have passed down traditions from generation to generation. These stories are presented at our temporary exhibition entitled The undaunted. Listening to the tales told by the people presented at the exhibition, we are trying to capture the nature of contemporary craft and present its recent history.
