Discover the rich history of Polish art and design at POSK. 

Join the Polish Social and Cultural Association for an illustrated talk by Zorian Clayton, Curator of Prints (1850–now) at the Victoria and Albert Museum, exploring the unique history and creativity of Polish poster design through the V&A collections.

The Victoria and Albert Museum holds around 400 Polish posters, dating from the late 19 century to the present day. This talk will trace a remarkable graphic design heritage — from Art Deco masterpieces and the internationally celebrated Polish Poster School of the mid-20 century, through the powerful imagery of the Solidarność era, to contemporary designers continuing this extraordinary tradition.

Discover how Polish posters have combined daring typography, striking colour and imaginative symbolism to reflect and shape Poland’s cultural and political life over more than a century.

The talk will include a short introduction by Talking and Exploring and a discussion with the audience.
