The 2022 calendar of the Polish Institute in New Delhi was entirely designed by the Polish artist Rita Zimmerman, whose work is well known worldwide. The idea to combine Polish and Indian architecture in collages has not only aesthetic but also educational value. Such a presentation of architectural monuments of both countries best demonstrates the elements linking our cultures through the universal language of architectural forms juxtaposed by the artist in forms bordering on fairy tale and dream.
