ATTENTION! Due to the bad weather, the project Letters to My Brother – postponed
Due to the atmospheric conditions disabling the start of the plane (rain), we are forced to postpone the project Letters to My Brother by Grzegorz Drozd, originally planned today within the domain of the 2nd ArtBoom Tauron Festival.
We will make every effort for the event to take place within the upcoming three days that are left until the end of the Festival.
We will inform you of the new date as soon as we receive essential permits and confirmations from the institutes and offices cooperating with us in this project.
Grzegorz Drozd’s Letters to My Brother is one of the key projects of the 2nd Festival of Visual Arts, ArtBoom Tauron Festival in Krakow. The artist sent out invitations to prisoners in penitentiaries around Poland to write letters – letters to us, to an anonymous crowd. The impulse given by Drozd became an opportunity to pass on private, painful, sometimes even very intimate contents. The dramatically inhibited, or even unwanted due to serving a sentence, contact with family and loved ones, becomes a great tragedy for the isolated people. The unusual correspondence, which has been in creation for months in the scope of the project Letters to My Brother, will be sent out in a unique way: a plane will appear over the centre of Krakow, on Thursday (24 June) in the afternoon (between 3-4 p.m.). A million swirling letters will be released in one moment. A white cloud will arise over the city, which will slowly fall to the ground.
