„A panel woven not only of scholarship but of textures, wounds, and futurities in the making—resistant, relational, and insistently feminist.”

I’m so happy to share that our Cosmo panel (Kasia Cytlak, Radek Przedpełski, Ksenya Gurshtein, Kasia Jezowska) is featured in INES Magazina, a New York-based platform for art and criticism. As the founder, Yohanna M Roa writes, “Our platform is not just about art; it is about the everyday revolution—creating spaces for deep, ongoing conversations about race, gender, class, and coloniality.” I am very happy that our panel resonated with the magazine’s mission!

Thank you, INES Magazina and Yohanna M Roa, for the publication! Work on the cover: Katarzyna Perlak.

The SHERA-sponsored panel “Cosmologies, Affects, Allyships: Decolonial Resonances in Polish Contemporary Art,” presented at the ASEEES (Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies) 57^th Annual Convention virtually on October 23rd, 2025, brought together three researchers: Katarzyna Cytlak (Nicolaus Copernicus U, Toruń), Radek Przedpełski (Trinity College, Dublin), and Julia Stachura (Adam Mickiewicz U, Poznań). The panel explored ways in which contemporary Polish art has engaged with the issues of decoloniality, both within the intra-regional context of the legacies of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and serfdom and by building transversal allyships with artistic practices in the “Global South.”
