Sprzeciw Kiedyś i Dziś - Plakat Opozycyjny jako Instalacja Muzealna
Objection in the Past and Today. The Opposition Poster as a Museum Installation

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the role of a museum installation in the European Solidarity Centre (ECS) based on the opposition poster Kardiogram by Czesław Bielecki. In the installation in the permanent exhibition in the ECS it has the form of an interactive wall on which guests leave cards with messages they wrote down. Despite the fact that decades have passed since the original poster was created, the installation, acting as a type of commemorative book, is a place used for expressing objections and fears about the current socio-political order in Poland. Although in a changed context and time, such a use by visitors to the permanent exhibition of the ECS may constitute the basis for a thesis about the continuation of the tradition of opposition. The article outlines the history of Czesław Bielecki’s poster, analyzes the messages left and presents preliminary conclusions. This article is a research reconnaissance.
