Summary/Abstract: The article explores the cultural life of the city during a period of shifting political realities in the Polish People’s Republic (PRL). Art and culture were intended to serve as tools of propaganda, expressing new values and conforming to ideological demands. This influence extended to the aesthetics of artistic expression as well as the themes of theatrical and literary events. The political thaw brought a partial relaxation of ideological control, allowing for greater diversity in cultural activities. In Dąbrowa Gornicza, this shift enabled initiatives that were more open to contemporary artistic trends, fostering creative freedom and enriching the local cultural landscape.
