Polish Pavilion Expo 2025 Osaka

Our Polish Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka is focused on PEOPLE – POLISH WOMEN and POLISH MEN and what WE as a community can share with the World.

At the same time, we are breaking the stereotype of the Pole as a sad, serious, not very optimistic or pathetic individual, presenting the Polish nation as possessing great qualities enabling it to survive.

We tell the story of POLES as a society and their talent for finding new opportunities, continuous creation, not giving up in extremely difficult and even seemingly hopeless situations, through their ability to create a community from the bottom up – solidarity around ideas.

We identify two unique characteristics that cause Poles to unite in the name of higher goals:

1 – Unruly gene of creativity / Revolutionary genetic code / Ability to ferment creatively

2 – Empathy

These qualities of our nation are revealed not in times of prosperity, but in a moment of clear need.

The impetus for action is generated by an individual. It is the spark to which we respond by opening up to ‘new possibilities’, creating a grassroots community. We have an ingenious ability to quickly unite, to solidarise and sympathise with a particular idea. This was demonstrated, for example, by the mobilisation of the public in the face of the war in Ukraine and the influx of refugees. The resulting force and power, the strength of people in solidarity, determined to act, is more powerful than any obstacles that stand in their way. History shows that nothing can stand up to it.

Today we want to share with other people the gene of unbridled creativity with a touch of empathy, a revolutionary genetic code. We are aware that the time has come when the world is standing on the brink of great dramatic changes, and this is the last call to unite, forge an idea and act as part of a strong community.

Using the example of individuals acting under the influence of the ‘unruly gene of creativity’, whose ideas or activities became the spark that roused the masses to action, we prove that great change is possible.

Their actions have had a significant and meaningful lasting impact, caused a stir, spread the need to think, create, collaborate, stand in solidarity, and led to change.

We realise the idea of our pavilion in the form of a colourful structure – a sculpture symbolising human individuals who transmit a positive creative, revolutionary gene. They thus form a living organism in solidarity, constantly morphing and growing.

The structure outgrows the cuboidal shape of the facility’s exterior. This cuboid symbolises the ossified system, the problem facing society, humanity.

This oppressive form tries to push people into certain rigid frameworks – to stifle them, as a result of which the creativity gene, characteristic of Polish society, is triggered. At first in the individual, and through empathy spreading to more people.
