Ode To Joy
Ode to Joy 2026: Art, Hope, and Encounters in a Mutilated World
Join us for the third edition of Ode to Joy, a vibrant European artistic encounter bringing together sixty artists from across Europe. Inspired by Polish poet Adam Zagajewski and his poem Try to Praise the Mutilated World, this exhibition celebrates creativity, freedom, resilience, and connection in uncertain times.
Through new works, experimentation, exchange, and dialogue, the artists invite visitors to reflect on Europe’s living artistic community: open, evolving, courageous, and full of hope. With a special connection to Poland and the support of the Polish Institute in Paris, Ode to Joy 2026 is both an exhibition and a gathering place for ideas, encounters, and shared inspiration.
