30 Years of an Open Villa: Jubilee 2026 at Willa Decjusza
In January 2026, Willa Decjusza launches its jubilee year, marking the 30th anniversary of reopening the Villa to local residents and international guests. It is three decades of building a place for dialogue, culture, and the exchange of ideas—open to people and their stories. The programme features events that bring the archive into conversation with the contemporary, connect history with the future, and bridge the local with the international.
In January 2026, Willa Decjusza launches its jubilee year—30 years since the residence reopened to local residents and international visitors. It marks three decades of building a place for dialogue, culture, and the exchange of ideas—one that connects the archive with contemporary life, and the local with the international.
In the second half of January, we will present the site-specific exhibition Stories 360° – 30 Years of an Open Willa Decjusza. The exhibition will highlight the most compelling threads from the past three decades of activity, alongside the results of extensive archival research into the history of the entire site. Archival materials will be brought together with contemporary solutions—including digital projection mapping—so visitors can step into the narrative and experience it in an immersive way. The display will feature photographs, audio and video recordings, and selected excerpts from correspondence. The exhibition will remain open until the end of February.
A dedicated educational and workshop programme will accompany the exhibition, designed for both young people and adults—from calligraphy and historical photography to sessions focused on future skills, including the use of AI in creating audiovisual content connected to cultural heritage. The jubilee programme will also include additional guided tours of the Villa (covering the past 30 years, the restoration, and cultural and educational activities), as well as initiatives at Strzelnica na Woli, further developing programmes for the local community.
