WARSAW POWIŚLE x NÓW

In the shop windows of partner venues on Topiel, Tamka and Kopernika streets, unique objects made by members of the Nów Association are presented. Nowe Rzemiosło - representatives of the new crafts.

For centuries, Warsaw's Powiśle district was a district of industry and craftsmen's workshops. Its image has radically changed in recent years - the area has transformed into a modern, dynamic and diverse hotbed of metropolitan life. During this time, craftsmanship itself has also been changing, moving away from the manufacturing tradition of manufactures to a search for originality, authorship and artistic expression. The X NÓW project is thus a meeting after years of the old craft district with the new craft.

The exhibition features furniture, textiles, functional and decorative objects made of wood, glass, ceramics and recycled plastic. Artistic interventions in the storefronts of the creative group NEW®LAD, Kōgaku optical salon, BUSZ florist, elfjoy and SARNA DESIGN designer jewelry stores, SOUL HAIR space, haratyk boutique and Atelier HAWROT create a cohesive exhibition route that engages passersby and invites them to see what awaits them in the next storefront. X NOW for one holiday month turns this section of the city into an urban gallery of contemporary crafts open 24/7.
