Arsenal Municipal Gallery

The Arsenal Municipal Gallery is a self-governmental cultural institution financed by the Municipality of Poznań. We are active in the fields of exhibiting, publishing, organizing cultural events, and developing educational programs. We continuously extend the Gallery collection. As a public institution, we are interested in our immediate political, social and ecological contexts. Our main goal is to create a place of debate on every possible subject. By using art as an argument, we address topical discourses and point out new, yet unarticulated ways of participating in the world, the world we co-create and take responsibility for. The Gallery is a shared space. Its character is based on participation. We are an institution which is not so much critical as affective, sensitive to voices and impulses from outside of its own universe, and open to what evades the logic of the Anthropocene.
