Wschód /vshood/ translates to sunrise, new beginning. It also refers to geographical east.

Wschód is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2017 in Warsaw by curator and critic Piotr Drewko. The gallery represents international artists working across a wide spectrum of practices including video, sculpture, installation, painting. Apart from the exhibition program the gallery initiates a wide range of cultural activities – publication, institutional projects, podcasts in collaboration with artists, curators, critics.

In 2018, Wschód initiated a gallery exchange program Friend of a Friend. In 2022 the gallery conceived a time-shared exhibition space ECHO in Cologne. Starting from late fall of 2023, Wschód has expanded to New York with a yearly curated program of exhibitions and video / film projects. At the end of 2024, after three years, ECHO closed its doors in Cologne and was transformed into curatorial platform for producing exhibitions and projects in all possible formats.
