Located in a building originally created in 1935 by the Swiss architect Michel Polak, the museum takes a transnational approach to events that have united and divided Europeans through time.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://irenelaubgallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Irène Laub Gallery</a> in Brussels presents a duo show featuring the work of Bernard Villers and Tatiana Wolska. The two artists share the same economy of means, favouring simple gestures and found materials. Their respective practices are punctuated by patterns of fragmentation and reconstruction, and resonate with each other in a subtle dialogue.</p>
<p>Polish artist <a href="https://irenelaubgallery.com/artistes/tatiana-wolska/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tatiana Wolska</a> (1971) lives and works in Brussels. Her multidisciplinary practice is characterised by organic growth, the proliferation of forms and the hybridisation of objects. Using simple means and evocative gestures, Tatiana Wolska transforms plastic bottles, discarded metal and recycled wood into the foundations of mechanisms of propagation and amplification.</p>
<p><a href="https://irenelaubgallery.com/artistes/bernard-villers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernard Villers</a> (1939) is a major figure of the Belgian art scene. In his works, Bernard Villers constantly combines surface, light and colour, playing with the infinite possibilities of pictorial practice and its effects on our perception. The Belgian painter seeks his inspiration in the banal, marginal and imperceptible aspects of everyday life to create minimal interventions often inspired by language, poetry or literature.</p>

<p>Join us for the first concert in the<strong> Polish New Generation in Classical Music</strong> series as a part of the European Parlament’s Thursday Concerts Programme! </p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Concert: Polisn New Generation in Classical Music – Karski Quartet</strong><br /><strong>January 7, 2025</strong><br /><strong>13:00</strong><br /><strong>EU Quarter – Info Hub on Esplanade Solidarność 1980</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Duration: this lunchtime concert will be approximately 30 minutes in duration.<br />Entry free.<br />No booking needed; seats are first-come, first-served. Arrive early to secure your spot before the performance.</p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.karskiquartet.com"><strong>Karski Quartet</strong></a> – Belgian/Polish string quartet based in Brussels: Kaja Nowak, Natalia Kotarba – violins, Diede Verpoest – viola, Julia Kotarba – cello</p>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">The story of the Karski Quartet began in 2018. The four musicians were brought together as much by shared musical inspiration as by friendship. Long before the three Polish members completed their music degrees, Kaja Nowak in Warsaw, Natalia and Julia Kotarba in Krakow, and met the Belgian Diede Verpoest in Brussels, their interest in other cultures was sparked by the European exchange programmes in which they participated. Travelling abroad with the music school folk group for Natalia and Julia, the international summer music workshop in her hometown of Łańcut for Kaja, were the first glimpses at the possibilities that travelling and studying abroad can offer. </div>
<div>Ever since the Karskis started to play together, they have performed internationally across Europe and in Canada, with a US tour planned for 2026. Spring 2025 will see the release of their new CD with quartets by Grazyna Bacewicz.</div>
<div><hr /></div>
<div><strong>Program: </strong><br />Grażyna Bacewicz: String Quartet No. 4<br />Set of Polish folk songs in arrangement for string quartet by Ignacy Zalewski, Paweł Czarny and Karski Quartet</div>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"> </div>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">
<div><strong>String Quartet No. 4</strong> is the best known and most often performed among <a href="https://bacewicz.polmic.pl/en/">Grażyna Bacewicz</a>’s seven string quartets. It was written in 1951, following a commission from the Polish Composers’ Union, which invited its members to take part in a composers’ competition for a string quartet organised in Liège. Bacewicz’s piece, entered as “1951”, won the first prize. The “Brussels victory” – as the event was commented on by Grzegorz Fitelberg in a letter to the composer – was discussed extensively by the Polish and foreign press.</div>
</div>
<div><hr /></div>
<div>The concert series entitled <span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Polish New Generation in Classical Music </span> is organised by the Polish Institute Brussels in cooperation with the European Parliaments Thursday Concerts programme.</div>

<p style="text-align: left">We we invite you to the opening of the 2024/2025 academic year for the Forum on Central and Eastern Europe with a lecture by Przemysław Czapliński, Professor of Polish Literature at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Czapliński is the author of over a dozen books and the recipient of several national book awards.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Przemysław Czapliński will explore how the economic, political, and cultural crises of the 1970s shaped Polish prose. He will focus on writers Jerzy Andrzejewski, Tadeusz Konwicki, Marek Nowakowski and Kazimierz Brandys, examining their depictions of a society grappling with the erosion of collective values and the rise of individualism—changes that set the stage for Poland’s eventual shift toward capitalism. </p>

Delve into poetic depths where dreams, reality, and revolutionary spirit intertwine. Embrace the surrealist ethos and see how these poets shape a new world redefining humanity through aesthetic, philosophical depths, or revolutionary spirit.</p>
<p>Be ready to encounter poets with an urge to shock, depict the fantastic, the impossible, the magic, different forms of infinite freedom, desire, and reject logical reason. Join this surrealist extravaganza from Thursday, September 26 to Saturday, September 28 for lunchtime debates, thought provoking performances, and poetry “écriture automatique” writing sessions in the public space.</p>
<p><strong>This year, at the invitation of the Polish Institute, Polish poet Małgorzata Lebda will join the festival.</strong></p>

She is the author of six poetry books, including the award-winning collections “Matecznik” and “Sny uckermärkerów” (Gdynia Literary Award 2019). Her latest collection, “Mer de Glace” (published by Wydawnictwo Warstwy in 2021), received Poland’s most prestigious poetry award, the Wisława Szymborska Award, in 2022. Her books have been translated into Czech (translated by Bogdan Trojak), Italian (translated by Marina Ciccarini), Serbian (translated by Biserka Rajčić), Ukrainian (translated by Yury Zavadsky), Slovenian (translated by Katarina Šalamun-Biedrzycka), Danish (translated by Frej Larsen and Paweł Partyka), and Romanian (translated by Marina Ilie). She holds a doctorate in humanities and audiovisual arts. She is also a columnist, cultural animator, editor, researcher, and lecturer at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. An ultramarathon runner, in September 2021, she ran 1,113 kilometers along Poland’s longest river, the Vistula, as part of the activist-poetic project “Czytanie Wody” (Reading Water). Her novel “Łakome” (published by Wydawnictwo Znak in 2023) marks her prose debut. The novel has been sold to four countries: the United Kingdom, Spain, France, and Serbia, with negotiations ongoing with additional countries (Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Ukraine…). A film adaptation is in progress. The book was awarded the “Odkrycia Empiku” – the prize given by the largest chain of bookstores in Poland. She lives on a windy steep mountain ridge in Beskid Sądecki.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><strong>BD Comic Strip Festival<br />September 6-8, 2024</strong><br /><strong>Friday: 09:00-18:00, Saturday-Sunday: 10:00-18:00 </strong><br /><strong>Tour & Taxis, Gare Maritime</strong><br />Avenue du Port, 1000 Brussels<br /><strong>free admission!</strong></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">In Belgium, comics are considered the ninth art, and characters from comic books can be found everywhere—from museums, bookstores, and cafes, to murals adorning the walls of buildings, and even in city sculptures. In Brussels, comics are not just entertainment for young people, but a form of art that straddles the line between literature and film. The Brussels Comic Strip Museum, the comic mural trail, numerous comic bookstores, and even comic characters printed on Belgian passports all confirm that comics are an important part of Belgian national identity. For several years now, Brussels has been one of the key locations on the European comic map, and the annual Comic Strip Festival, established in 2010, continues to attract an ever-growing audience from around the world.</span></p>

<div>
<p><b><span lang="EN-US">Polish comics are gaining increasing popularity both domestically and internationally. What sets them apart in the global market is the diversity and independence of their creators. Most Polish comic artists publish independent publications, which gives them the artistic freedom to experiment with both text and visuals.</span></b></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="EN-US">At the invitation of the Polish Institute Brussels, <b>two remarkable Polish authors, Berenika Kołomycka and Joanna Karpowicz</b>, will be present at this year’s edition of the BD Comic Strip Festival in Brussels. Their comics have been translated into several foreign languages, and their fan base continues to grow. At the Polish Institute’s stand, there will be presented an exhibition of original and previously unpublished illustrations by both artists, along with large-format prints and characters from their comics. Visitors will get to know Joanna Karpowicz’s mysterious Anubis in a new edition, as well as the Malutki Lisek (Tiny Fox) and Wielki Dzik (Great Boar) from Berenika Kołomycka’s well-known series of albums for children of the same title. Throughout the Festival, the authors will showcase their exceptional skills during live drawing sessions and by creating illustrated autographs. At the Polish Institute’s stand, Polish comics from Timof Comics publishing house will be available for purchase, along with foreign translations of Polish creators’ works in French, Dutch, and English.</span></p>
