KiKa

KiKa is a bronze dwarf statue located in the Szczepin district and part of a collection of over 600 such sculptures spread throughout Wrocław. Each figure stands about 30 centimeters tall and sits at street level, easy to miss unless you are looking for it.

The collection began in 2001 with Papa Dwarf, honoring the Orange Alternative movement that used dwarf symbols to protest against communist control. This started as a reference to that historical resistance and developed into the permanent public art project that exists today.

The dwarf statues throughout the city display different characters and professions, forming an open-air gallery that reflects local identity. These sculptures tell stories about the neighborhoods they stand in and invite people to explore their surroundings more carefully.

You can find KiKa and other statues using special maps available at tourist information centers or through mobile apps designed for hunting down dwarfs. Taking time to walk slowly through the streets is helpful, as these small sculptures are easy to overlook at normal pace.

Each statue in this collection receives an individual name and has specific characteristics often connected to the location or local history. These personal details transform the collection from simple art objects into small characters with their own stories embedded in the city.
