Embracing the Horizontal Fall is the title of a three-day festival at Midway Artist Studios in Boston, scheduled for September 13-15, 2024, at the invitation of artist and performer Milan Kohout. Anna Markowska curates the event from the University of Wrocław and Tomasz Opania from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. The festival will include video performance screenings, documentation displays, live performances, public space interventions, and art installations that resonate with the theme suggested by the title. The event is organized by the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and the Culture and Art Centre in Wroclaw. The exhibition is funded by the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and from the budget of the Self-Government of the Lower Silesian Region

The exhibition will showcase the works of artists who have previously collaborated and are associated with the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Poland. Thanks to this established group of emerging and seasoned artists, the exhibition facilitates diverse perspectives that can resonate with audiences. Embracing the Horizontal Fall considers art a common language that no one is fluent in. Therefore, everyone is learning it from one another, while rejoicing in shared experience. This belief in the agency of art is one of the main messages of the show.
