The original plan was to present 33 artworks – 11 posters in each of three different categories. Yet, there were so many artists interested in the festival and the exhibition that the number of showpieces had to increase.Thanks to the strict selection criteria we were able to narrow it down to about... 70 posters.

Tomasz Kipka , the curator of the exhibition, is setting it up himself together with Stefan Lechwar and volunteers, students and graduates of Silesian University in Cieszyn.

The exhibition is an international event and the artists whose works will be shown in the Ruins come from Mexico, Poland, Slovakia, Italy, Belarus, Greece, Russia, Ecuador, Argentina, the Czech Republic, Serbia, South Korea and even Iran.
