Pinoteka

A gallery of possibilities, a place that shapes imagination – and where imagination is treated as the greatest privilege.

Grupa młodzieży przy długim stole podczas warsztatu twórczego w sali Pinoteka Teatru Pinokio — markery, kartki i miska z jabłkami
Stół warsztatowy w Pinotece przygotowany do zajęć: papier z napisem „PRZYJAŹŃ”, kolorowe karteczki, kontury dłoni i białe krzesła

Each of us is a vessel for what we collect. Pinoteka can therefore be seen as a collection not only of proposals and possibilities, but also as a place co-created by its audience; a place composed of fragments of sensitivity from each of our viewers.
