What is SURVIVAL?

SURVIVAL is a contemporary art festival that takes art beyond galleries and museums – directly into public space. Each year, the Review attracts tens of thousands of visitors (over 21,000 entries last year).

It’s a chance to experience art in unusual locations – this time in the former Clinic of Psychiatry and Neurological Disorders at 44 Bujwida Street in Wroclaw.

This year’s edition, titled “Finger on the Heart”, will take place from June 26 to 30, 2026.

Internships

As part of the volunteer programme, you can complete a student internship. We especially invite students of arts and humanities. If you are applying for an internship, please include your field of study and required number of hours in the form.
