We invite you to a unique event that brings together the worlds of contemporary art and cinema. Thanks to a rare coincidence, it offers an opportunity to experience two complementary narratives unfolding at the same time.
On 13 June, Kino Nowe Horyzonty will host a screening of Kumotry in the presence of director Emilia Śniegoska, preceded by a curatorial tour of the exhibition All The Diamonds at Krupa Art Foundation. This is a special opportunity to discover how the themes explored in the exhibition resonate with the film’s narrative—and vice versa.
Kumotry tells the story of a depopulating Polish village in the Romanian Carpathians, where two lifelong friends, Hanka and Bronka, confront the passage of time with humour, tenderness, and resilience. All The Diamonds is a Polish-Romanian group exhibition dedicated to different ways of looking at rural life and to the cultural, social, and artistic connections linking the two regions.
Although the film and the exhibition were created independently, their parallel presentation creates a unique dialogue. All The Diamonds presents the countryside as a space of shared experience, memory, longing, and imagination, while Kumotry offers an intimate, poetic portrait of everyday life and a world that is gradually disappearing. The two forms complement one another: one opens a broader perspective through the language of contemporary art, while the other immerses us in a vivid and deeply emotional story.
During the tour, curators Natalia Barczyńska and Monika Łuszpak-Skiba will focus on the themes connecting the film and the exhibition: collective memory, nostalgia, relationships, experiences of solitude, questions of roots and belonging, and processes of transformation. Rather than a traditional walkthrough of individual artworks, the tour will invite participants to reflect on how contemporary art and cinema engage with transience, community, and places that are slowly vanishing from the map of lived experience.
The tour will feature works by, among others, Zofia Rydet, Alina Ușurelu, Honorata Martin, Delia Popy, and Anna Raczyńska. The exhibition will serve as a point of departure for the cinematic experience—after a short journey through the gallery space, we will find ourselves at the heart of the story during the screening of Kumotry.
