We’re coming back to you in May with the next, 9^th edition of Open House Gdynia! The upcoming edition of the Open House Gdynia festival of architecture and open housing will be held under the banner of “Bananas” – an ambiguous one, associated, among other things, with the legendary pre-war company of the same name.

Port buildings were associated with the Bananas company – it was where the banana ripening facility and its branch (offices) in downtown Gdynia operated.

The slogan links various cultural contexts, evoking images functioning in popular culture: “Bananas” by Woody Allen, the iconic album cover of the band The Velvet Underground designed by Andy Warhol (which inspired a multitude of young musicians of the so-called Gdynia alternative scene), Banksy’s works.
