This exhibition showcases photo reportages published in the Polish student magazine 'itd' between 1960 and 1990. It presents the work of twenty prominent photojournalists, offering a unique perspective on Polish society, culture, and everyday life during those decades.
Marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of the magazine 'itd' (originally 'itd. Ilustrowany magazyn studencki'), this exhibition delves into the rich history of photojournalism in Poland from 1960 to 1990. The magazine, which published 1513 issues, played a crucial role in documenting Polish life, with each issue featuring a photo reportage. The exhibition highlights the work of twenty esteemed photojournalists whose images captured the realities, absurdities, and authentic moments of life in the Polish People's Republic. The curated selection includes iconic images and lesser-known gems that offer a visual narrative of a changing country and its citizens. Beyond the photo reportages, the exhibition also features portraits of the photographers, double-page spreads from 'itd', and archival materials. It serves as both a chronicle of a nation's transformation and a tribute to the dedication of two generations of photojournalists who strived to document social issues and overlooked aspects of Polish life, often in challenging circumstances. The accompanying album features nearly 140 photos from the period.
This exhibition is open during the museum's regular hours: Tuesday-Friday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Saturday-Sunday from 12:00 to 20:00. Please check for any specific admission details or booking requirements on the official website.
