Explication (in Wroclaw):
Visit the exhibition prepared by the students of Mediation of Art of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, presented in the display windows of Wrocław’s BWA Awangarda Gallery.
100 Flags for the 100th Anniversary of Giving Voting Rights to Polish Women is a project crowning the initiative of a grassroots social and artistic movement. The idea for 100 Flags was conceived as a reaction to the social situation in 2018, when a number of celebrations, marches, exhibitions, reconstructions and other initiatives referring to the centenary of Poland’s independence flooded the public sphere. The project assumed a basic purpose: to remind people about an equally significant, but at that time seemingly completely forgotten anniversary – the centenary of gaining voting rights by women, falling on 28 November 2018. “FLAG” was the leading theme, and every creative person was welcome to create their own manifesto, irrespective of sex, age or educational background. In response to the open call, over 220 flags were created by 270 people from all over Poland, or to be more precise – from all over the world, as the flags arrived from countries like Kenya, Brazil, China, Holland and Germany, says the 100 FLAGS Collective.
The March of 100 Flags held in Warsaw in November 2018 culminated the undertaking. Objects created by the participants were first shown at BWA Warsaw, then arranged and presented in the form of an exhibition at Warsaw’s Exhibition Office. Symbolic presentations of the flags were also held at the Museum of Contemporary Art and lokal_30 gallery in Warsaw.
The Wrocław edition of the project is its evolution. Prepared by the students of Mediation of Art of Wrocław’s ASP, it gains new meanings and contexts, and – extended to include new exhibits – provokes renewed discussions, performative events, social and artistic actions depending on the venue and new groups of active creators-recipients.
The 100 Flags project may be seen from the side of Wita Stwosza Street in Awangarda’s display windows as the gallery’s interior exhibition space has been closed since February 2019.
