In the beginning of the 1980s Libera entered the counter-cultural milieu of the Pitch-in Culture. They met at an attic of an old tenement house by the main alley of Łódź. Soon after the Martial Law was introduced in 1981 and state-sponsored galleries were closed, The Attic became a venue for exhibitions and concerts of the „second circulation”.
The first exhibition on The Attic included Libera’s artistic debut.

At that moment, Libera was fresh out of prison. He spend a year and a half in criminal arrest and an internment facility for printing and distributing leaflets in protest against the bloody suppression of the strike in Wujek coal mine.

On the exhibition, Libera shown „a collection of postcards with German actors from Nazi times, which he has found on the attic of his family house in Pabianice.” (Sienkiewicz 2014).
