On October 15, 2021, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Ottawa in cooperation with the Slavic Research Group at the University of Ottawa organised a multidisciplinary celebration "Cyprian Kamil Norwid - A Polish Poet of Today" on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his birth.

We were pleased to:

  • listen to the lecture “Cyprian Kamil Norwid – A Polish Poet of Today” and recitations of new English-language translations of Norwid's poetry by Prof. Richard Sokoloski, Director of the Slavic Research Group
  • showcase ‘VadeMecum’ a new short by The Quay Brothers produced by the Polish Institute in London and the Polish Book Institute
  • listen to performance of Fryderyk Chopin’s compositions by Ms. Jenna Richards (Ottawa Chamberfest)
  • inaugurate the poster exhibition “Poetry and goodness. Norwid – A Versatile Genius”, prepared by The Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature in Warsaw, Poland

A video of the broadcast of the event can be viewed on the FB account of the Embassy: https://facebook.com/PLinCanada/videos/390871659339158
