Unsubmissive 1976–1989: Women's Roles in Poland's Opposition Outdoor Exhibition

This outdoor exhibition, 'Unsubmissive 1976–1989,' showcases photographs, documents, and portraits of women active in the opposition movement in Poland, from the era of KOR through the Solidarity movement and the period of martial law. It highlights their crucial roles as organizers, editors, distributors, and supporters of the underground press and resistance efforts.

The exhibition 'NIEPOKORNE 1976–1989' (Unsubmissive 1976–1989) is an outdoor display presented from June 1 to June 21, 2026, at the corner of Karowa and Krakowskie Przedmieście streets as part of the 'WE CHOSE FREEDOM. JUNE 4, 1989' project. The exhibition highlights the essential but often overlooked roles of women in the opposition movement. It features photographs, documents, and portraits of key figures who were active from the period of the Workers' Defence Committee (KOR), through the August strikes and the development of independent press, to underground activities and the period of martial law. The exhibition emphasizes that without these women—who acted as organizers, editors, distributors, liaisons, and ensured the safety of those in hiding, while also working in underground print shops and striking—the former system would not have collapsed. Featured individuals include Anka Kowalska, Henryka Krzywonos, Ewa Kulik, Gajka Kuroń, Helena Łuczywo, Ewa Ossowska, Alina Pienkowska, Zofia Romaszewska, Aniela Steinsbergowa, and Anna Walentynowicz. This exhibition was first presented in 2020.
