The "Baba" sculpture in Zielona Góra

The sculpture "Baby" in Zielona Góra, created by Tadeusz Dobosz, is a significant monument located in the Piastowskie housing estate, in front of the entrance to the Anna German Amphitheater. It was unveiled in 1976, and the sculpture itself symbolizes the cultural revival that took place in Zielona Góra in the 1970s. It was created in the context of the exhibition "My City. Proposals and Impressions," organized to mark the 30th anniversary of the Red Army's entry into the city, which further underscores its historical significance. The sculpture depicts three women whose appearance references traditional Russian matryoshka dolls, reflecting the absorption of diverse cultural influences of that era. In an architectural context, "Baby" interestingly blends with the space of the amphitheater, creating a focal point that attracts the attention of both residents and tourists. This combination of culture, history, and art makes the monument not only an attractive object to admire but also an important element of local identity. The sculpture "Baby" engages the residents of Zielona Góra in reflecting on their cultural heritage and the role of art in public spaces.
