Witkacy: Madness, Art, and Adventure. A Talk and Film Screening
Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM
KFDC, Washington, D.C.
Polish beer and snacks will be served!
Step into the eccentric, daring world of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz—Witkacy—one of Poland’s most enigmatic and visionary artists. Known for his bold experiments in art, philosophy, literature, and theater, Witkacy's legacy continues to challenge and inspire.
This special evening features an engaging conversation between scholars Mark Rudnicki and Gertrude Gibbons, who will explore Witkacy’s radical ideas, his provocative artistic journey, and his lasting impact on global culture.
We will also treat you to a special screening of the film:
Witkacy & Malinowski: A Cinematic Séance in 23 Scenes
by Australian filmmaker John Gillies—a dreamlike portrayal of Witkacy’s 1914 journey through Australia with anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski, blending historical reflection with theatrical imagination.
