Different Differences Differing. A Series of Events Around the 2026 Katarzyna Kobro Award
based on a project created by Cezary Bodzianowski
"Different Differences Differing" is a series of events taking place in Łódź around the 2026 Katarzyna Kobro Award in Łódź - an initiative through which the artistic community recognises outstanding artists. The series brings together Łódź-based institutions, initiatives and spaces in Łódź, that feeling idealogically connected to the values represented by the Katarzyna Kobro Award, decided to celebrate another year of its existence. "Different Differences Differing" is an idea that brings people together not only on the basis of similarities, but also through an openness to the diversity approaches and attitudes.
