TOMASZ GUDZOWATY "Are-Bure-Bokeh"
October 1-31, 2025; Czarna Galeria CENTRUM; free admissionThe exhibition is a clash of images of sumo – the national sport of the Japanese – with the rebellious, provocative aesthetic of are-bure-bokeh, inspired by the work of photographers associated with Provoke (Purovōku, プロヴォーク), an experimental photography magazine founded in 1968.
MASSIMO BONUTTO "Odisha - A Journey to Tribal India"
October 1-31. 2025; Szara Galeria CENTRUM; free admissionThe exhibition takes us on a journey to small villages, to almost all the most important weekly markets. There we meet men and women from local tribes who have come down from the mountains to sell and buy, and admire the richness and diversity of their costumes.
ARKADIUSZ GOLA "The Other Side of the Brick"
October 1-31, 2025; Złota Galeria CENTRUM; free admissionArkadiusz Gola has taken his camera to places our eyes, saturated with prosperity, rarely look. His photographs are simple shots of apartments where time flows differently. There are no luxuries here, only traces of everyday life. Cracked walls, furniture from different eras, objects that have a history, though no one asks about it.
70 YEARS OF THE KRAKOW PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
October 1-31, 2025; NCK PHOTO GALLERY; free admissionA review of the current achievements of the Krakow Photography Club proves that the interests of its members are extremely broad – nature, tourist, family and reportage photography, architecture, and with it details, reflections, geometric arrangements and multiplications, traditional and creative portraits, in the studio and outdoors, sports and street photography, prioritizing the creative idea over the location itself.
– Adam Gryczyński, curator of the exhibition
