We invite proposals for three initiatives at Kaliska 8/10:
- an indoor mural on one of the walls;
- an exhibition/installation in the window display;
- a performative presentation.
When?
For each initiative, a budget of PLN 5,000 gross is provided. The initiatives will be implemented in January and February 2026, with a final presentation on 15 February 2026.

About the space on Kaliska 8/10
Kaliska 8/10 is the new place of the Strefa WolnoSłowa Foundation.
We are still in the process of shaping and refining the space so that it best reflects the nature of our activities — workshops, performances, theatre productions, concerts, installations, and exhibitions. Starting in 2026, we will launch regular artistic and socially engaged activities at Kaliska, and we also plan to regularly invite artists to share their work here.
In the face of global unrest and the climate crisis, we want to create an asylum at Kaliska 8/10 — a place where we discover what we have in common, come together through action and conversation, and exchange experiences. In this space, we will learn from one another and develop sensitivity not only to art, but above all to the world and the people around us. We will seek paths toward understanding through diversity and build solidarity in opposition to injustice, violence, and indifference.
Kolofon
The project is being implemented thanks to support from the Krajowy Plan Odbudowy, financed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU programme.
