The sculpture "Family" in Zielona Góra

The sculpture "Family" by Tadeusz Dobosz and Marek Przecławski is located in the Łużyckie housing estate in Zielona Góra. The monument was unveiled in 1981, but its history dates back to the 1970s, a period of significant cultural revival in the city. The sculpture was created to mark the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Zielona Góra, as part of the project "My City. Proposals and Inspirations." Architecturally, the monument is characterized by its monumental depiction of a family, consisting of a mother, father, and child, which dominates the surroundings and is visible from a nearby commercial area known as "Mrowisko." The figures are made of Gozdnica stoneware, giving them a unique character. Culturally, the sculpture symbolizes family values and human bonds, which were important during the time of its creation. Interestingly, the monument fits into the broader context of artistic and social activities in Poland in the 1970s, when public art gained prominence and served as a form of expression during a time of social transformation. The "Family" sculpture not only commemorates a historical event but also emphasizes the importance of family and community in social life.
