Galeria Magiel 21—25

Galeria Magiel is an independent, street art–oriented space that organizes exhibitions, community gatherings, workshops and parties. It is one of those rare places where you can genuinely feel an alternative way of thinking and organising cultural activity.

The book Galeria Magiel 21–25 serves as a summary of five years of consistently stimulating local culture and subculture. From this substantial catalog:

After five years of activity on Wapienna Street, the time has come for a brief summary. What was meant to be a simple zine has ultimately become a full-fledged book. This publication brings together everything that has happened here over the past years – from the days of the old Magiel, through the renovation, to the move to a new location.

Inside the Swiss-bound softcover, you’ll find over 450 photos and graphics across 288 pages in a 19.9×27.3 cm format. The book includes an extensive photo report from 70 exhibitions, sketch sessions, and workshops.

Magiel is also described in texts by artists who exhibited in this basement space, as well as by Iwona Kałuża, Maciej Przestalski, Marian Misiak, Łukasz “Cekas” Berger, Radek Łukaszewicz, and Malwina Nowak.

The publication is part of a project co-funded by the European Union under the NextGenerationEU fund as part of the National Recovery Plan.
