The Polish National Pavilion at the Durrës Biennale
28.09.2026
Poland will participate in this year's edition of the International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Durrës, presenting the Polish National Pavilion with an exhibition titled "The Forge" (Kuźnia) by Krzysztof Gil, an artist collaborating with Zachęta - National Gallery of Art. The theme of this year's Biennale is "Periphery: Visual Transitions".
The exhibition will be presented at the Archaeological Museum in Durrës, one of the city’s most important museum institutions. Showcasing Polish contemporary art within a space dedicated to the region’s archaeological and cultural heritage creates a unique context for interpreting the work and fosters a dialogue between the contemporary and the historical.
Poland’s participation in the Durrës Biennale is a significant element of cultural exchange between Poland and Albania and contributes to promoting contemporary Polish art in the country. The presence of a Polish pavilion at this international art event in Durrës also offers an opportunity to establish and develop cooperation between the artistic communities and cultural institutions of both nations.
