2003 Poland? Yeah!

A first introduction to Poland was made by NPP August 2003, visiting Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Posnan, Sopot and Gdansk. Among the highlights was a trip to Gdansk Shipyard, origins of Lech Walesa and the Solidarity movement in the 1980’s.
NPP stumbled across Anete Szylak who was curating a performance art happening within the shipyard that evening. The highlight was a 9 hole round of golf by Canadian performance artist John G. Boehme.
NPP’s first Polish painting was My First Trip Through Poland? Yeah! which featured on the cover of the Autumn 2003 edition of Hotele, a business guide to Polish hotels produced by http://www.biznespolska.pl/
