Event | KAZ_LAB 2025
This year’s edition of KAZ_LAB is an audiovisual evening that opens a space for a shared experience of art and exploration of the Kazimierz district – a place of remarkable cultural density, dynamic present, and layered history. In a time when the world faces difficult questions of identity and belonging, we invite you to see Kazimierz as a meeting ground – of stories, languages, sounds, and images. Not to offer easy answers, but to create a moment of being together, with attentiveness and sensitivity, through art.
The event took place on June 26, 2025, on the facade of HEVRE, 18 Beera Meiselsa Street.
