Exhibitions:
- "Radio Room" – the former early 20th-century boudoir at the palace will become the space for a specially arranged audiovisual installation "Radio Room." The name is a play on words with the term "TV room," often found in recreation centres. The installation will consist of four speakers and a television displaying abstract video forms reminiscent of radio waves. Author: Justyna Banaszczyk aka FOQL. Video: Dariusz Pietraszewski
- The park on the other hand will be transformed into an open space of art installations inspired by nature, accessible throughout the event. Visitors will be able to view installations and artistic objects related to the theme of trees, which will encourage reflection on our relationship with nature, well-being and the presence of nature in the city, as well as on breaking down barriers associated with biophobia. The works are the result of the university's artistic initiative "Come to the Park" which involved students and staff at the University of Lodz, in collaboration with artists and researchers Monika Goetzendorf-Grabowska, Patrycja Grzyś and Piotr Jargusz.
