In recent years, millions of Poles took to the streets to express opposing views about the country's politics, history and future.

The description of the city of Łódź, Poland as "The Promised Land" is borrowed from the title of a novel by Władysław Reymont, a Polish novelist and the recipient of the 1924 Nobel Prize in Literature. The show exhibited three snapshots of the history of Łódź.

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of German reunification, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) hosted the photography of renown German photographer Barbara Klemm who documented momentous events in East and West Germany since the 1970s.

Italian landscapes are inseparable from European art history and its aesthetic self-awareness. This exhibit reflected on these timeless landscapes.

The exhibition included the selection of 25 unique posters from 1957 to 2013. The selection represented the highest aesthetic quality of the work of multiple generations of Polish poster artists and their embeddedness in the European culture and political imagery.
