Curatorial context
The exhibition "Bazar Różyckiego. Tam było wszystko – słuchowisko" is a documentary audio play that immerses visitors in the atmosphere of Warsaw's most renowned bazaar, a bustling marketplace that has thrived for at least 130 years between Targowa, Ząbkowska, and Brzeska streets. Established by Julian Różycki, a local pharmacist and entrepreneur, the bazaar was a central hub for the Praga district, drawing people from all over and symbolizing the area. Visitors can expect to hear the authentic sounds of the marketplace, including the cries of vendors and the general hubbub, created using recordings from the Oral History Archive of the Museum of Warsaw's Praga branch and sound archives from the National Digital Archives. The audio play also incorporates a contemporary rendition of the pre-war song "Chodź na Pragie" by Kapela Czerniakowska, adding a layer of nostalgic musicality.
The content delves into the history and folklore of the bazaar, recalling its origins, the characteristic kiosk shaped like a blue soda siphon, and the wide array of goods available, from daily necessities to second-hand items and books. It also touches upon the bazaar's darker side, including illicit activities, and its role during World War II, where merchants provided sustenance to wounded soldiers and supported prisoners. The narrative weaves together personal memories and a sense of pride from Praga residents, reflecting on the bazaar's enduring legacy and its place in the collective memory.
