Dates: 29 May – 28 September 2025, Location: Fleet Street Quarter, London

As part of the London Festival of Architecture and the UK/Poland Season 2025, Fleet Street Quarter proudly presents Whispers, an innovative sculptural installation by renowned Polish designer Oskar Zięta. This commission celebrates the enduring creative partnership between Poland and the UK, highlighting the fusion of art, technology and public engagement.

Zięta, celebrated for his pioneering FiDU (Freie Innendruck Umformung) technology, transforms flat metal sheets into lightweight, three-dimensional forms using internal air pressure. This process results in dynamic, organic structures that redefine contemporary design and engineering.

Set to be unveiled at Ludgate Hill, Whispers will come to life in a thrilling live event, where members of the public will actively participate in its inflation. This interactive moment embodies the spirit of cross-cultural collaboration, inviting audiences to experience cutting-edge design in real time.

‘Whether spoken softly, in hushed tones, or even in whispers—sitting together in a circle, we can break down barriers and connect meaningfully. Our aspiration is for Londoners to join us in breathing life into ‘Whispers’… Designing public and private spaces, as well as entire cities, would be meaningless without the voices that shape them. These voices are numerous—often contradictory, and sometimes silent. Let architecture empower people to speak—whether in a firm voice or a whisper.'(Oscar Zięta)

The installation is co-produced with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, the Polish Cultural Institute in London, Let’s Art Foundation, and On & On Designs, as part of the UK/Poland Season 2025, organised in collaboration with the British Council.

Join us in celebrating this unique artistic partnership, where innovation, culture, and community come together in the heart of London.’
