The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw has prepared a new exhibition whose main theme is the close connection between the surrealist avant-garde and the anti-fascist movement. The event is titled "You Are in the Heart of Change" and will be presented at the institution's headquarters at 103 Marszałkowska Street. This is one of the most important dates in the capital's cultural calendar for the upcoming season, aimed at those interested in art history and liberal ideals.
The exhibition opening is scheduled for June 26, 2026. The display will remain available to visitors until January 10, 2027, meaning a nearly seven-month presentation period. Such a long duration allows for a calm familiarization with the subject matter and the organization of numerous accompanying events, which the institution may plan during this time.
The exhibition title suggests that the artists of surrealism were guided by the idea of actively influencing social reality, rather than merely an aesthetic escape from it. Anti-fascism becomes a key interpretive context here for the work of surrealists, who often criticized totalitarianism and propaganda. For Warsaw residents, this is an opportunity to look at familiar surrealism motifs through the prism of the struggle for democratic values and personal freedom.
Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition in the central part of the city, in the Museum of Modern Art building. The location on Marszałkowska Street is well connected, making it easy to reach the vernissage and subsequent visits during the exhibition's run. Organizers encourage planning a visit now, using available tools to save events in calendars to avoid missing the opening.
