Story
Epamek is a cheerful, bearded dwarf with a pointed cap and a friendly, slightly cheeky grin. One arm is stretched out as if he is waving you over, so do not be shy: step closer and say hello. According to wromap.pl he lives inside a building, so he is a little treasure to track down.
History & Significance
Epamek stands at ks. Piotra Skargi 1 in Wrocław's Old Town, inside a building according to wromap.pl. wromap.pl credits Piotr Makała as the sculptor. The same site lists the appearance date as 15 September 2016. Wrocław's bronze dwarfs grow out of the Orange Alternative, a playful, peaceful protest movement of the 1980s whose members painted dwarfs on city walls; since 2005 the city has been filling its streets with bronze dwarfs, and there are now hundreds of them.
Inspiration
We could not find a published explanation of who or what Epamek honours, and no sponsor is documented in the sources we found. The photo shows a pointed cap with lettering on its band, but the letters are not clearly legible, so we will not guess what they say.
