Yay! We’ve officially completed phase three of the Kalejdoskop Polski Minnesota project. On March 13, 2025, we celebrated the opening of Lives in Transition – Journeys from Behind the Iron Curtain at the University of Minnesota Campus Club. The event was a beautiful evening filled with conversations, reflections, and the soulful sounds of the Half-Baked Jazz Combo. It was a joy to reconnect with old friends and mark this milestone together.
The journey doesn’t end here! Our next exhibition stop will be at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport’s SEE 18 Gallery on Concourse A this May. If you’re traveling through MSP between May and August, be sure to visit and immerse yourself in the powerful stories of Polish immigrants who pursued freedom and new opportunities in the United States.
For those who couldn’t attend the Campus Club opening and won’t be passing through the airport—or if mobility presents a challenge—you can still experience Lives in Transition through our virtual gallery. Explore the exhibition online and engage with the compelling narratives by visiting: Lives in Transition Virtual Gallery
