Podłaźniczka – an installation in Krakowska Gate
A new art installation is coming to Krakowska Gate in mid-December. “Podłaźniczka” refers to decorations once hung inside homes during Christmas. Originally, podłaźniczka was hung over the Christmas table. These decorations were made from the tops of conifer trees (pine or spruce) and were typically shaped into wreaths with fir twigs, straw discs, or circles fashioned from wire or tree bark. Other decorations were also added, including straw stars, cookies, paper ornaments, apples, and nuts. The centrepiece consisted of intricately cut and joined Christmas wafer decorations called “świat” or “world”.
The installation at Krakowska Gate will be reminiscent of these traditional ornaments. It will take the form of a wreath consisting of green twigs, apples, the centrepiece, and straw decorations made by folk artists. The straw decorations will include stars made by children participating in December workshops at Workshops of Culture.
When: 14 December 2022 – 8 January 2023
Where: Krakowska Gate in Lublin
Admission free
