Since 2016, the Polish Pavilion at the London Design Biennale has been organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, which selects a project that represents our country through a competition. This year’s exhibition “Poetics of Necessity”, which is part of the Polish Pavilion, this year’s theme concerns Ukraine, was awarded in the “Awarded to the most outstanding overall contribution” category by the jury of the Biennale.
The success of Polish design at the London Design Biennale in England
This year’s London Design Biennale exhibitions were to interpret the slogan “The Global Game: Remapping Collaborations”. The Polish exhibition fit in perfectly. Exhibition “Poetics of Necessity” is an attempt to tell about relations and processes emerging in times of crisis.
It consists of three stages, the first of which was the collection of windows in England. They are part of the exhibition in the Pavilion – this is the second stage of the project, and the third will be their transfer to Kiev, Kharkov and Kherson, where they will be used by people rebuilding their homes. The exhibits, as the authors of the exhibition emphasize, will be changed from waste into useful objects, thus becoming synonyms of safety and foundations of dialogue.

The Polish Pavilion was awarded one of the 3 prizes awarded at the Biennale, at which 40 countries present each year. The director of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Barbara Schabowska, also expresses her joy: “We are very happy that a project with a very Polish value, which is solidarity, has been appreciated. The crisis is an opportunity for objects to have a new life, and limited access to resources creates new processes. Congratulations to the team of curators, who designed the exhibition.
This year, the presentation was prepared by a team of curators: Zofia Jaworowska – founder of the BRDA Foundation and creator of the Resources Group, whose aim is to find shelter for thousands of refugees coming to Poland; Petro Vladimirov – an architect and curator with an artistic education who, together with the BRDA Foundation, co-created the OKNO project, and Michał Sikorski – an architect and urban planner with experience in campus planning and research.
