Familiar Strangers Outdoor Polish Film Poster Exhibition / 3 February - 2 April

Screening 1: 03 Feb, 00:00
Samsung KX

A FREE Exhibition showcasing the iconic work of Polish poster artists at Kiosk N1C, Lower Stable Street, King’s Cross.

Step into a world where Hollywood classics are transformed through the bold, imaginative lens of the artists from the Polish Poster School. This exhibition unveils how Polish artists reinterpreted American and UK cinema while navigating the harsh realities of Communist and post-Soviet Poland at a time when censorship, propaganda and surveillance were omnipresent.

Blending raw intensity with haunting beauty, these posters reflect the psychological landscape of a society shaped by repression; you will never look at Star Wars, The Shinning, or Tootsie the same way again. Audiences familiar with these cinematic classics will be confronted with unexpected perspectives, revealing hidden narratives that subtly critique oppression and explore the human condition of a Communist regime.

Experience this powerful collection of film posters in their natural outdoor setting at Coal Drops Yard until 2 Apri - Kiosk N1C, Lower Stable Street, King’s Cross, N1C 4DR

And from early March until 2 April, digital versions of some of the posters will be displayed at Samsung KX in Coal Drops Yard.
