Exhibition of works by Inga Levi

Galeria W Y invites you to an exhibition by Ukrainian artist Inga Levi. The project she will realise will be the result of her residency in Łódź. The artist will immerse herself in a complex process of exploring the city and its complex history. Inga Levi, who has previously created series of drawings focusing on the conflict in Ukraine, will present works that use drawing as a tool for documenting the changing city.

During the residency, the artist will engage in field research, analysing not only the physical tissue of Łódź, but also collecting social and cultural narratives.
