Ladies and Gentlemen,,
The Faculty of Journalism, Information and Book Studies together with the Laboratory of Media studies at University of Warsaw would like to invite you to the exhibition of Barbara Dybala's paintings titled. "Contemporary Woman", which will take place on 26 November 2019 at 5 pm in the foyer of the building at 2/4 Bednarska Street, Warsaw

The theme of the exhibition is women. A fragment from the artist's text announcing the opening reads:
"Women carry life, love, they are strong, stronger than men, even though they are used to being called the weaker sex. Women are delicate but also valiant, brave and weak. Certainly, most of them fight for their families, but also for their freedom, their independence. There are those who will disappear, dissolve into oblivion, and those who will be left with the colourful stain of love. Ageing is a natural stage in the life of every person. To be beautiful is, first and foremost, to feel beautiful, to accept yourself as you are, with all your faults and virtues. For centuries, women have been kind of in the shadows, constantly fighting for their subjectivity, their own strong self. It seems to us that nowadays there has been a far-reaching change - emancipation. However, this is not the case. Women are free, they have rights, they can make decisions, they have choices. However, looking into the mirror of contemporary culture, are we women really in complete control of ourselves, our bodies, our lives and our souls?"

The opening will be opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Journalism, Information and Bibliology at the University of Warsaw, Prof. Janusz Adamowski. Moderated by Jacek Wasilewski, PhD, and Tomasz Gackowski, PhD.

We kindly invite you!

“Three stages of a woman”. The painting is done in oil on canvas, dimensions 140-65 cm, in a wooden frame. The painting refers to three stages in a woman's life - a young woman, a woman in the prime of life, and a woman in puberty.
