Filo
12 Apr 2024 — 09 Jun 2024
Auto Italia presents Filo, a survey exhibition by Polish artist Karol Radziszewski. The exhibition brings together a rare collection of photography, publications and ephemera tracing the history of Filo, one of the first underground queer magazines in Central and Eastern Europe, founded by the Polish activist Ryszard Kisiel. This body of archival material is presented alongside a selection of Radziszewski’s paintings of historically significant queer people from the region. The exhibition attempts to reconstruct and reintroduce cultures and representations of sexual difference that emerged from the complex social and political context of Poland during and after the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc.
