The Department of Studies in Culture cordially invites everyone to a lecture: “War and Politics in Polish Shakespeare Posters: Or What We Would Like to Ignore.” This inspiring lecture will be delivered by Dr Sabina Laskowska-Hinz, a distinguished scholar of English literature and art history, specialising in Shakespeare’s visual reception.

Discover how Shakespearean theatre posters go beyond art and literature to become powerful commentaries on war, politics, and social injustice. This thought-provoking event explores how visual culture challenges silence, exposes power, and provokes debate in times of conflict.

Date: Wednesday 27 May 2026
Time: 13:00
Location: Aula im. Hrynakowskiego, Collegium Heliodori, Grunwaldzka 6

Posters from the accompanying exhibition are displayed in the hall in front of the Dean’s Office. Join us for an engaging exploration of art, politics, and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare in contemporary cultural discourse.
