Poland Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka – a story that won’t go silent
The exhibition "Poland. Heritage that drives the future" blooms anew every day - alive, changing, breathing to the rhythm of the visitors who come to see it.
After two months of Poland’s presence in Osaka, we know one thing: our story has been told in a way that stays in the memory. This story is still being written – with every visitor, every glance, every note.
It is a space that does not dominate – but invites. It does not impose – but subtly opens. It’s a place where you can immerse yourself and stay – if only for a moment – in a state of attentiveness. An exhibition that teaches you to look, listen and breathe together with nature.
Regional weeks are behind us, meetings with artists, conversations about ideas that shape the future. And the exhibition itself continues, absorbing emotions, gestures and sounds. It resonates stronger and stronger every day – like a space that not only tells, but also remembers. It witnesses everything that happens in Poland Pavilion: concerts, conversations, meetings and moments of total tranquility. It also absorbs the invisible.
This is possible thanks to the well-thought-out, multi-layered concept of the exhibition, which was created by an interdisciplinary creative team. The space they designed consists of interactive art installations that – using modern technologies – bring out the Polish identity’s most universal and moving feature: the gene of creativity. It is he who combines here nature with technology, tradition with modernity, science with emotion.
The exhibition does not put the viewer in the role of an observer – it invites him to co-create. It is the visitors – predominantly the Japanese public – who become its driving force. Their sensitivity, attentiveness and different way of perceiving art give the space a new rhythm. It’s a nod to the culture of the Expo’s hosts: a culture that teaches to patiently look, listen, and notice meaning in the subtle and unnamable.
Behind the concept of this story are Monika Brauntsch (KAFTI), Ewa Kierklo and Stanisław Kempa (studio GDYBY) and Wiesław Bartkowski – a team that has fully realized the potential of narrative design, based on experience and participation.
The common ambition of the curators was to create an exhibition that does not tell about Poland directly – but allows you to feel it.
And it happened.
To such a story, to such an experience, Poland Pavilion invites Visitors every day, up to October 13.
