TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art serves as a multifunctional meeting platform for artists and visitors. It introduces the audience to the tools of art by putting them in various contexts and transdisciplinary relationships. Visual works interact with literature, music, theatre, social science and new technologies.
TRAFO acts as an “interpreter” promoting and placing art in an extremely complex cultural, socio-political, economic and existential domain.
As a post-institution, TRAFO does not follow rigid rules in the rapidly changing world of art.
TRAFO is a testing ground for the history of art. It encourages experimentation and presentation of the artistic process and provides a space for producing of artworks and testing of knowledge.
The program of TRAFO consists of exhibitions, research and residency programs, publishing activities, meetings, concerts, lectures. Its integral part is the educational program addressed to different age groups, introducing workshop participants to contemporary art.
Opened in 2013 and located in Szczecin – the Polish capital of the German-Polish border region Pomerania, TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art is a public art institution organized by the City of Szczecin.
