The historic residential gardens of the Royal Łazienki are one of the most visited sites in Warsaw. What emotions do they evoke and how are they perceived? Their perception from many perspectives is the topic of an interdisciplinary research conference that will take place on 12-13 September 2024 at the Palace on the Isle in Warsaw.

The conference ‘Emotions of the Royal Łazienki Gardens – a Multiplicity of Perspectives’ aims to summarise the development of research on the history and perception of the Royal Łazienki gardens, but also to show them through the prism of individual and social emotions they evoke. The garden is a subject of research studies that can be defined in a variety of ways: as a work of art, a living monument, a cultural heritage site, a public, political and social space, or a place where ‘great history’ and microhistories move on in parallel. Representatives of various scientific disciplines, including art history, history, cultural anthropology, literary studies, sociology, psychology, landscape architecture and other technical and engineering disciplines, as well as those concerned with interdisciplinary approaches, are invited to take part in the conference.

If you wish to participate in the conference, please send your application by 31 March 2024 to konferencja.ogrody@lazienki-krolewskie.pl

Your application should contain: your forename and surname, the title of the paper, affiliation, an abstract (maximum 1,500 characters including spaces), your telephone number and e-mail address.

There is no conference fee. The languages of the conference are Polish and English. The organisers are planning to prepare a post-conference publication.
