The second residency of the Yanka Rudzka Project is currently underway in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Following research conducted in November, photographer Anna Zielińska is collaborating with Joanna Leśnierowska and Brazilian colleagues to create materials for a multimedia installation that will be featured at this year’s Łódź of Many Cultures Festival in November (save the date!).

On April 28, the Marek Edelman Dialogue Center in Łódź hosted the institution’s program conference, during which Agata Siwiak, the head of our Festival’s program team, presented the main objectives and thematic tracks of this year’s edition.

Yes, this is the moment. We are unveiling the visual identity for the 2026 Łódź Multicultural Festival. This year, we invited the Łódź-based duo Mean Collective to collaborate with us.

We encourage you to participate in the auction of our VIP ticket on the Allegro portal.
The VIP PASS entitles the winner of the auction and one accompanying person to participate in all events of this year’s edition of the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival.

This year, the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival will have a rolling format (spread out over time). Events will take place from April to November, with the main festival weekend scheduled for 17–20 September 2026!

We invite you to an event complementing the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival and closing this year’s edition. It will be a December afternoon devoted to secular folk Christmas traditions, filled with music, workshops, and storytelling.
