Bajarz i Bajduś, Bronze dwarf statue in Nowy Dwór district, Wrocław, Poland.
Description
Bajarz i Bajduś is a small bronze dwarf that stands in the Nowy Dwór district among hundreds of similar statues scattered across Wrocław's streets, measuring about 25 centimeters tall. The figure displays the typical details of this collection and adds to the artistic presence throughout the neighborhood.
History
The statue was placed in October 2022, continuing a tradition that started in 2005 with the first dwarf figures in Wrocław. This practice has since grown into a city-wide movement with hundreds of figures added over the years.
Culture
This dwarf belongs to a collection that remembers the Orange Alternative movement, which used humor and irony to resist during communist times. Visitors can encounter these works as part of an artistic tradition that still shapes the city today.
Practical
This statue is located in a residential neighborhood and can be easily found using dwarf maps available at tourist information centers. There are no special access requirements or opening hours since it is an outdoor monument.
Did you know?
This figure tells a story of artistic rebellion, as the movement emerged as a creative act against state oppression and continues today. The dwarf statues are therefore much more than tourist attractions but documents of courageous resistance.
