Curatorial context

The exhibition "Tadeusz Różewicz in the Karkonosze Mountains" was opened on October 12th at the Museum of Sport and Tourism. It focuses on the life and works of Tadeusz Różewicz (1921-2014), a prominent Polish poet, playwright, and prose writer, particularly his engagement with themes of sport and mountain hiking. The exhibition features 32 photographs taken by Zbigniew Kulik, the director of the Museum of Sport and Tourism in Karpacz, who was a personal friend of Różewicz and documented his stays in the Karkonosze Mountains. The exhibition aims to present Różewicz's personality against the backdrop of the Giant Mountains (Karkonosze) and places he frequented, with some photographs serving as illustrations for his works and inspired by his persona. Różewicz's deep connection to sports and mountains was recognized in 2008 with the prestigious "Golden Olympic Laurel" award from the Polish Olympic Committee for his poetry collection "Two Sides of the Medal." The exhibition opening coincided with the 96th anniversary of the Polish Olympic Committee and a few days after Różewicz's 94th birthday. The event was attended by numerous guests, including a delegation from the Polish Olympic Committee led by its president, Andrzej Kraśnicki. The exhibition was opened by Tomasz Jagodziński, director of MSiT in Warsaw, and Zbigniew Kulik, the exhibition's author. Dr. Krzysztof Zuchora also contributed by presenting Różewicz's creative profile and reciting one of his poems.
