Karol Radziszewski: Filo
Co-commissioned by EAF and Auto Italia, Karol Radziszewski鈥檚 curated exhibition collects rare photographs and ephemera to trace the history of Filo Magazine, one of the first underground queer magazines in Central-Eastern Europe, founded by activist Ryszard Kisiel. Begun in response to Polish communist police suppression of sexual minorities, underground magazine Filo furthered activist conversations about sexuality, creativity and politics.
Alongside, Radziszewski presents his paintings of queer, Central-Eastern European historical figures, hung in a style recalling Eastern Bloc propaganda portraits, exploring the unknown histories of LGBTQ+ communities beyond the US and Western Europe. This will be Radziszewski鈥檚 first Scottish solo exhibition.
