Boliząbek, Dwarf statue in Tarnogaj, Poland.
Boliząbek is a bronze dwarf figure in the Tarnogaj district that is one of many small sculptures placed across different locations throughout Wrocław. The figure occupies a regular spot within the neighborhood streets as part of a larger public art network that shapes the city's appearance.
This figure was created as part of an artistic movement in the early 2000s that started as an act of civil resistance against political oppression. The collection grew over time to become one of the city's most recognized public art installations.
This bronze figure is part of a collection of dwarf sculptures scattered throughout the city that form part of everyday urban life. Visitors enjoy discovering and photographing them during walks as mementos of their exploration.
The sculpture sits in the Tarnogaj neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot while exploring local streets. The best time to visit is during daytime when the area is well-lit and photographing is simpler.
The figure carries a specific name, like many of its companions across the city, giving it its own personality. This local custom of naming makes each sculpture an individual character that visitors can easily recognize and discuss.
