Relations between Britain and Poland remain obscured by issues such as Brexit and foreign policy realignment. Nevertheless, the realm of cultural diplomacy can prove a suitable forum for maintaining and strengthening links outside of government actions. When Polish and British artists meet this year for the UK–Poland Season 2025 — a programme of over one hundred events across forty cities — they are doing more than celebrating creativity. They are testing the strength of a relationship shaped by war, migration, and a rapidly changing Europe, which is now being renegotiated in the wake of Brexit and ongoing tensions on the continent’s borders. The Season, organized by the British Council, Adam Mickiewicz Institute, and Polish Cultural Institute, seeks to fill that gap by highlighting artistic innovation that underpins diplomacy.
