year 2023

In November 2023, the National Research Institute of Oncology in Gliwice hosted a conference entitled “Nowotwórczość (Onco-creation) – At the Crossroads of Science and Art.” The event was accompanied by an exhibition of microscopic images of cancer cells. Its purpose was clear and singular – to bring together two worlds: the world of science and the world of art. We believe that this was the day when that dialogue truly began. We invite you to explore the works presented during the first edition of the exhibition in 2023.

The exhibition “Nowotwórczość (Onco-creation) – At the Crossroads of Science and Art” invites reflection and dialogue on how the resources of both science and art can be harnessed for the benefit of cancer patients. Bringing together these two seemingly distant worlds may help transform the way we perceive the experience of illness and make the field of oncology more approachable for those who are healthy.

“Nowotwórczość (Onco-creation) – At the Crossroads of Science and Art” is the central theme of the exhibition and conference organised at the Gliwice Branch of the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology. It marks the beginning of a project that brings together the worlds of science and art. The purpose of this collaboration is to create a positive impact on cancer therapy.
