City Perspectives in Europe | Polish-Swedish Art Exhibition Gdańsk

About the exhibition

This exhibition presents a selection of works by students and course participants from Sörängens Folkhögskola/Jönköpings Konstskola in Jönköping, Sweden, and Prosta Kreska Art School in Gdańsk, Poland. Centered around the theme City Perspectives in Europe, the exhibition brings together diverse interpretations of urban landscapes, reflecting both individual sensitivity and cultural context.

The collaboration was established through the Erasmus programme, creating an opportunity for artistic exchange and shared learning. As part of this initiative, students from Sweden will visit Gdańsk, where they will take part in an architectural drawing course and an outdoor workshop organized by Prosta Kreska, as well as visit the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Academy of Fine Arts.

The exhibition highlights a range of approaches to observing and interpreting the city, revealing how diverse educational backgrounds and artistic practices shape the way urban space is perceived, experienced and represented.
