The GOOD Change

Waldemar Żurek is a judge at the Kraków District Court with sixteen disciplinary proceedings against him. Until 2018, he served as the spokesman of the Polish National Council of Justice and the Court of Appeal in Kraków. Dagmara Pawełczyk-Woicka, the new court president, dismissed Żurek and transferred him to a lower court. Żurek publicly criticized the judicial reform and campaigned for the independence of the judiciary, leading to four additional disciplinary proceedings against him.

Land Acknowledgement The Gallatin Galleries is located on the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in this territory in harmony for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed, but some also remain among the historical tribal communities of the region. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory and we affirm the aspiration of the Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the Indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land.
