The art workshop concluded with an exhibition on the topic of the future of Gdańsk. The invited participants were experienced artists whose interests concentrated around the themes similar to the project’s idea. During the workshop they stayed in Gdańsk and realised works in the urban space which were their contribution to the solving of the problems accompanying the spatial transformation of the city, as well as the existing social conflicts. The works were either of a substantial character, such as installations or objects destined for the city’s public space, or were actions, or artistic interventions confronting the particular problems of the lives of the city’s inhabitants. All the artistic projects were specifically designed for Gdańsk’s context.
