Glinoludka and activist Pacyfka (Monika Tichy), who in August 2024 walked with a banner reading "We are all made of the same clay," had to provide an explanation of why, painted with clay, she participated in the procession during the Ceramic Festival in Bolesławiec wearing only the lower part of her underwear. The woman can be seen in the photo below.
On her social media page, Monika wrote:
And yet! Apparently, as he announced, the Mayor of Bolesławiec notified law enforcement about the clay-covered boobs that ruined his Ceramic Festival. Of course, because they carried a rainbow flag and a message of equality; in previous years, topless Glinoludki caused no objections because there was no rainbow in the background. As a consequence, I had a brief but very pleasant meeting with the staff of my favorite and exemplary police station – to be clear, I am writing this without a shred of sarcasm; we have had years of excellent cooperation. Of course, I do not admit guilt: no “indecent act” (Article 140 of the Petty Offenses Code), but a carefully considered artistic and social action carrying an important message. I eagerly await what happens next
We wrote about how the Mayor of Bolesławiec was outraged by the sight of a woman’s chest painted with clay in the article: We Show the Clay-Covered Boobs That Attacked the Mayor of Bolesławiec. In the article, we explained that the woman, topless and painted with clay, had been reported to the Ceramic Festival’s organizer, Kornel Filipowicz, and to the coordinator of the ceramic parade, and had received permission to walk in the clay; Glinoludki had been going topless in the “Free the Jugs” action since 2008. What is more, several years ago another woman, also topless and painted with clay, even received an award for her creation from Cezary Przybylski (then the Bolesławiec county head).
To this day, Bolesławiec Mayor Piotr Roman and Ceramic Festival organizer Kornel Filipowicz have not condemned the behavior of the hooligans who publicly shouted vulgar words and attacked the woman. The hooligans are being investigated by the prosecutor’s office.
Apparently, prosecuting the mother of a child on the autism spectrum, a community activist, an equality advocate and simply a good woman is more important.
– Violence and aggression are tolerated, while love and sexuality are treated as evil and a threat. It is simply absurd – comments Monika Tichy.
