Event (general): The Publicity of Ignas Jonynas Collection in 1989

The policy of liberalisation (perestroika), which was started in Lithuania at the end of the 1980s, also influenced the activities of archives. Various state archives started to open their collections, not only to scholars and historians, but also to students and the general public. The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences was one of the first to make its archive public. In 1989, the Ignas Jonynas collection also became public. As a result, not only members of the Academy had an opportunity to use the collection, but also students and those who were interested in Lithuanian history. This was important, because the Jonynas collection holds documents from different periods of Lithuanian history. Documents that characterise the political history of the independent Republic of Lithuania, and also documents which illustrate the dangerous and often dramatic situation of Lithuanian intellectuals during the Stalinist period, were of special importance to the general public and researchers. These documents were unknown to the general population.

Renaming the Münnich Ferenc street to Nádor street by György Krassó in Budapest (1989)

György Krassó played an important role during the period of regime change: he often demonstrated against the communist regime by committing effective symbolic acts. His most famous such action was when he splotched with red paint the statue of Ferenc Münnich, former communist interior and prime minister after 1956, and symbolically gave Ferenc Münnich Street in Budapest its pre-Communist name, Nádor Street.

Časopis Severka

The tramp magazine Severka was published for the first time in 1989. In the 1970s and 1980s tramping experienced difficulties in Czech and Slovak lands. Tramps' prints could not be published officially, and Severka therefore started as a samizdat. In 1989 the first volume of Severka was published under Tramping Association Severka.

Libera’s International Debut on the „Bakunin in Dresden” Collective Exhibition

„Bakunin in Dresden” was a collective exhibition presenting Polish contemporary art to the German-speaking audiences, just after the breakthrough of the year 1989.
It was curated by Ewa Mikina and was shown in Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Arnheim in Germany as well as in Linz in Austria.
It was commented as a „one of the seminal groundbreaking exhibitions in Polish art” (e.g. on the website of Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw).

Besides Zbigniew Libera, the artists on display included Zofia Kulik, Jolanta Ciesielska, Przemysław Kwiek, Ewa Partum, Jacek Rydecki and Jerzy Truszkowski.

Libera attended the opening of the exhibition in Hamburg with a VHS camera. The recording from that event is published online in the Filmoteka of Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
