Book Launch: The 1982 Cultural Exchange Between Łódź and Los Angeles

Explore a groundbreaking 1982 artistic exchange between communist Poland and Los Angeles. This unique transatlantic collaboration saw Polish artists, including Tadeusz Kantor and Edward Krasiński, donate works to MOCA in Los Angeles, while LA-based artists like Lita Albuquerque and Sam Francis gifted pieces to the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź. The program includes a documentary screening, expert presentations, and a Q&A session, all celebrating the publication of the new book The 1982 Cultural Exchange Between Łódź and Los Angeles, which honors the 50 participating artists and the initiative’s legacy as a bridge between cultures during the Cold War.
