The International Cultural Centre in Kraków and the author of the project, Agnieszka Łakoma, invite you to an exhibition presenting artistic graphics inspired by the sculptural decorations and ornamental motifs of modernist townhouses in Kraków, which can be explored with different senses.

The exhibition “Touch of Art – Laboratory of Form” consists of graphic installations that invite viewers to experience and learn about art and cultural heritage also through the sense of touch, thus enabling close contact with artistic creation.

The unique, multisensory graphics created in the project are a kind of artistic "Braille alphabet" that analyzes issues of architectural decoration form and spreads knowledge about forgotten workshops of Krakow artists and craftsmen. Executed in proprietary dry-ink (relief) techniques, the works primarily encourage tactile perception. They make up the exhibition, that is part of the ICC's accessibility program for all visitors.

The exhibition at the ICC will include haptic tours (based on the sense of touch) and participatory-multisensory workshops, aimed at a wide audience, including people with visual impairments.

The exhibition is being prepared as part of the City of Krakow 2025 Creative Scholarship.
