Dissidents and Dreamers - Anti-authoritarian Art from the East and West

Centrala gallery presents a selection of Punk protest art and documents produced before the fall of the Iron Curtain from the East and West, including works by Gee Vaucher, Oscar Kasperek and Rados?aw W?odarski . Gee Vaucher’s iconic imagery made with Anarcho-punk band Crass was inspirational to the 'protest art' of the 1980s and still resonates today. Vaucher has always seen her work as a tool for social change.

From the same period but on the other side of Europe under a different political system, Oscar Kasperek’s work is equally provocative and thoughtful from his portraits of fellow prisoners to his use of stamps which leave small traces in the environment to present a dialogue with the surrounding world. In conjunction with the exhibition.

Centrala café will be presenting the contemporary work of Rados?aw W?odarski. Also included in the Exhibition programme will be Punk and DIY Art zines collections.
