The article announces "The Subtle Charm of Obsessions," a multidisciplinary exhibition opening April 25, 2025, at the City Museum of Wrocław – Royal Palace. Curated by Jerzy Zajączkowski, the show explores Sigmund Freud's concept of the compulsion to repeat through works by artists based in Wrocław and across Poland, including Tamara Berdowska, the collective Monomoka (Katarzyna and Monika Gwiazdowskie), and Michał Misiak. The exhibition features painting, glass, fabric, and crocheted works, emphasizing rhythm, memory, and the cyclical return to familiar motifs placed in new contexts.
