Exhibition tour and film screening with Karolina Breguła

21. August 2024, 18:00 - 20:00
screening and artist talk

Polish artist Karolina Breguła invites you to a public tour of her current exhibition The Waves Are Rumbling so Loud.

Karolina Breguła deals in depth with questions of architecture, social shifts and urban spaces in their impact on communities. Her exhibition is all about the state of the oceans in the midst of the climate crisis. The artist brings together experiences and reflections on this elementary phenomenon. With her comprehensive and experimental film language, the artist creates situations in which collective storytelling becomes possible.

Following the tour, Karolina Breguła will present the film Golden Algae by her friend, artist and researcher Weronika Fibich, in the Agora, a special meeting place in her exhibition. The film deals with the Oder environmental disaster in July 2022, when a mysterious fish kill occurred that claimed the lives of around 60 percent of the fish population in the affected section of the river. A single-celled organism called Prymnesium parvum, also known as 'golden algae', was identified as the cause of the catastrophe. The film is part of a research project by Weronika Fibich, which is dedicated to various questions about the nature of the golden algae.

After the screening, there will be an opportunity to get in touch with the artist.

The event is free of charge.
