Serduszek, Bronze dwarf statue in Karłowice-Różanka district, Wrocław, Poland.
Serduszek is a small bronze dwarf statue located in the Karłowice-Różanka district of Wrocław. Like all pieces in this series, it has its own character and occupies a specific spot within the city.
The statue was installed in 2023 and continues a tradition that began in the 1980s with artistic protests by the Orange Alternative against communist rule. That movement transformed political resistance into art pieces that now shape the city's character.
The name 'Serduszek' means 'little heart' and reflects the emotional bond between residents and this form of public art. The figure shows how the city has woven its story through small, heartfelt details scattered across public spaces.
The artwork sits on an ordinary residential street and is accessible at any time. Visitors can purchase maps showing the locations of all the dwarfs throughout the city to plan their exploration.
Each of these dwarfs has its own name and individual story, setting them apart from ordinary monuments. The collection continues to grow because artists and citizens keep adding new figures, keeping the tradition alive.
