The main aim of The Lower Town Talks wanderings organised within the framework of The Outdoor Gallery of the City of Gdansk is to interest citizens of the Lower Town and other districts in the history of this place. The Lower Town is one of the last remaining districts of Gdansk kept in the original shape. In spite of its rich history it is perceived as a “dark” and dangerous district. By the series of guided tours during which the history of the district will be presented as well as its most scenic and surprising places we will try to change the way the district is perceived, change its image and make people interested in it.

The tours will be held once a month – from May till September 2014. Each tour will have its theme. The programme of the wanderings will be prepared by Karolina Pochwatka – art historian and animator of cultural events – who knows The Lower town from inside out. She will invite professional guides, local artists and citizens of the district to co-talk about the place and show it round.
