Story
Edukacjusz is a small, weathered dwarf who keeps a low profile near the entrance of a college on Krakowska street. In the photo his cap is pulled low over a lined face with a bushy beard, and he is tucked in among greenery and a metal railing, so you have to look closely to spot him. A fitting place for a dwarf of learning: he seems to be listening rather than talking.
History & Significance
Edukacjusz stands at Krakowska 56-62 in the Przedmieście Oławskie district. Wromap.pl names the sculptor as Anna Bujak and gives the date 25 July 2008, while the Polish Wikipedia list of Wrocław dwarfs gives the same address and the location 'Wyższa Szkoła Zarządzania Edukacja' but marks the author with a question mark. Wrocław's bronze dwarfs trace back to the Orange Alternative, a peaceful, absurdist protest movement founded in the city in 1986 by Waldemar Fydrych, whose members painted dwarfs on walls. Since 2005 the city has filled its streets with bronze dwarfs, and there are now hundreds of them.
Inspiration
Edukacjusz is clearly named after education: the Polish Wikipedia list places him at the Wyższa Szkoła Zarządzania 'Edukacja' (the 'Edukacja' School of Management), whose name matches his own. We found no source describing the dwarf's story or who paid for him, so we do not claim one.
