Discover Maria Pinińska-Bereś in Polish
On December 13, 2026, the Bochum Art Museum invites you to a one-hour guided tour in Polish through the exhibition Maria Pinińska-Bereś — Under the Pink Flag. The event provides immediate access to one of the most extraordinary voices of 20th-century Polish art and combines linguistic closeness with an impressive encounter with sculpture, installation, and performance.
Pink as a Symbol of Resistance
Maria Pinińska-Bereś developed an independent imagery where the color pink plays a central role. Her works appear poetic, humorous, and erotic, while simultaneously questioning societal expectations of femininity, body, and domestic roles. The tour conveys the subtle and political meanings of her works in the historical context of communist Poland in an understandable and vivid manner.
Scultures, Installations, and Performances
The retrospective showcases important stages in the artistic and emancipatory work of the artist. As a trained sculptor, Pinińska-Bereś pushed the boundaries of traditional sculpture and integrated performances and actions in public space into her work. The discovery experience leads through a complex cultural heritage where material, space, body, and social order engage in dialogue.
A Special City Tour through Art History
The Polish-speaking tour is aimed at everyone who wants to experience art history, local cultural mediation, and international exhibition practice from a Polish perspective. The Bochum Art Museum presents the exhibition in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Luzern. It is co-organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute; additionally, the project is supported by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland, the city of Bochum, and the Polish Institute Düsseldorf.
