Krem i czekolada: Post-War Memories of Warsaw's Female Factory Workers at Praga Museum

"Krem i czekolada" is an exhibition exploring the memories of female workers from the Wedel and Pollena-Uroda factories in post-war Warsaw. The exhibition, which spans from September 29 to November 9, 2018, delves into their personal experiences, daily lives, and reflections on their work.

The exhibition "Krem i czekolada" (Cream and Chocolate) offers a profound look into the lives of women who were central to Poland's post-war industrial landscape, specifically within the Wedel chocolate and Pollena-Uroda cosmetics factories. Spanning from September 29 to November 9, 2018, this exhibition at the Praga Museum of Warsaw invites visitors on a journey that begins within the museum and extends to the nearby Bazar Różyckiego. The narrative is built upon the voices of the women themselves, presented through their spoken words and symbolic monumental figures. It poses intimate questions about their free time, job satisfaction, and whether their years spent at Pollena-Uroda and Wedel were happy ones. For too long, the experiences of women in Polish factories have been underrepresented. Recent years, however, have seen a rise in publications shedding light on the realities of factories where women formed the vast majority of the workforce. These are the hands that crafted the famous Wedel cakes and the still hand-decorated Biały Jeleń soaps, as well as the iconic hop shampoo. The exhibition is a testament to the often-unheard contributions of women to Polish industry and culture. The project received artistic supervision from Goshka Macuga, with significant contributions from Kora Gałązka, Dorota Glac, and Marta Jalowska. The Praga Museum of Warsaw, with Magdalena Staroszczyk and PR support from Joanna Jasikowska, was instrumental in its realization. Graphic design for the exhibition was by Małgorzata Kłoszewska, and promotional graphics by Joanna Bębenek. Special thanks are extended to Weronika Majewska and Zofia Iwanicka of Fundacja Zmiana, and Ewa Ziajkowską from the Praga Museum of Warsaw. This project was co-financed by the City of Warsaw and supported by sponsors LOTTE Wedel and OKAM / BOHEMA – Strefa Praga, with media patronage from British Council Polska, Co Jest Grane24, Fundacja Feminoteka, Krytyka Polityczna, and Miesięcznik Stolica. Promotional materials utilized a photograph from the National Digital Archives collection, photographed by Zbyszko Siemaszko.
