The exhibition In the Moonlight stood she, Listening to the Wind focuses on the female body and its connection to physical labor as well as the rhythm of nature. Referencing the cycle of harvest and dożynki rituals, it highlights the female perspective and the spiritual and bodily wisdom that arises from harmony with the natural world. The central element of the exhibition is the monumental figure Whisper Wowen, woven from flax tow, symbolizing effort, order of action, and the moment of transition from labor to rest. It is accompanied by two straw marquetry screens referencing the moon, clouds, and wind, which emphasize the figure’s relationship with the primordial rhythm of nature. The placement of the exhibition in the historic space of the Wozownia Gallery evokes the memory of labor and the experiences of former manor communities.
