Join us as Pavel Pyś, Curator of Visual Arts and Collections Strategy at the Walker Art Center, offers a broad overview of special-engagement exhibition Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s–1980s, with a particular focus on the relationship between the works on view and the political climate at the time of their creation.
