You will learn where to look for information about your ancestors and what questions to ask. What do the documents say, what do the tombstones say, and what do the family photographs say? During the workshops, we will delve into digital databases and try to reconstruct the history of your family. What is known about the lives of your ancestors in Grochów? What did they do during World War II? Were they mentioned in the press? Do they appear in anyone's memories?

We will search, draw family trees, look at photos, and gather inspiration for further research into our roots.

During the workshops, we will use laptops. If you cannot come with your own, let us know in the form, we will manage!

We invite primarily those whose families come from Grochów and who want to share their family photos in the Grochów Social Archive.

Grassroots stories are actions that we initiate as the House of Art. Our goal is to establish the Grochów Social Archive, which aims to complement history with previously absent threads and build local identity. This year, we will invite you to the first exhibition in our history, which will be preceded by a call for archival photos. We will publish a collection of memoirs selected in a competition. We will invite you to literary workshops and theoretical meetings, and we will also initiate a series of podcasts related to social class issues, labor history, non-normative or rural themes.

The House of Art is a space for integration and cooperation. A place where we live, run a cooperative garden, and organize events. Since 2021, we have been operating in Grochów, Warsaw. We draw from the history and identity of our neighborhood. So far, we have opened a library for book exchanges, invited people to summer film screenings, and co-created a cooperative garden. We organized a series of events about the city and climate called 'Happy Grochów,' and as part of the 'KIBBUTZ' project, we conduct activities related to the Jewish agricultural farm in Grochów. For this project, we were awarded in the S3KTOR competition organized by m.st. Warsaw.
