We invite you to the  Borowiacka Folk Art Exhibition and to a discussion panel on “How to transfer folk art to modern interiors?”, which will take place in the “Pod Halabardami” restaurant in the Tucholski Ośrodek Kultury o. and tea, we will talk about the above topic with special guests – who combine knowledge of interiors and art on a daily basis. They will be:

Folk art is largely applied art, and as Wanda Szkulmowska wrote in the book “Folk Art of Kujawy. The past and the present”: “Today, it can be found more often in cities than in the countryside, folk art objects are made for sale to recipients outside one’s own circle […]. New recipients have different needs and tastes, so contemporary folk art often differs significantly from historic prototypes. It’s a completely different phenomenon now.”

April 25th  2022 Cracow (Monday) at 18.00A. Symołon’s Art Salon – “Return to the Roma Roots” – meeting with the American poet Cecylia Woloch and her translator Grażyna Wojcieszko. Cecilia Woloch’s poems from the Gypsy volume reflect the centuries-old saga of the Roma people.

Venue: Centrum Kultury Dworek Białoprądnicki

Cecilia Woloch –is an American poet, writer and teacher, known for her work in communities throughout the U.S. and around the world. She is a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship recipient and the author of six collections of poems, a novel, and numerous essays, including Sacrifice (1997), Late (2003) and Carpathia (2009). Her poetry has been translated into several languages and included in anthologies such as 180 More: Extraordinary Poems for Every Day (2005), Best American Erotic Poems: From 1800 to the Present (2008) and An Introduction to the Prose Poem (2009). The text of her second book, Tsigan: The Gypsy Poem, has been adapted for multi-media presentations in the U.S., France and Poland. A chapbook of new poems, Earth, was published in early 2015, along with a novel, Sur la Route. She is currently teaching as a Fulbright fellow at the University of Rzeszów in southeastern Poland.

Woloch’s choice of details and stories make the Roma people come to life. I can’t turn away. Her coda is especially beautiful and stunning. I am in awe of her power–a magician with words, an alchemist who weaves family search with horror and truth. I see the Roma, smell the smoke, and feel the ash from bone that makes grass grow. No one else writes like Woloch. This is a must read.

We start with  the sounds of Tibetan gongs and the band ChakraZU . The Gong is one of man’s most powerful and oldest transformational and therapeutic instruments. It has been used for ritual, ceremony, prayer, and meditation since the Bronze Age. While its sound is relaxing and calming, centering and energizing, transforming and healing, gongs have been used in sound meditation, vibrational therapy and yoga from the distant past to present.

Finally we find out who are the First  Annual Poetry  Contest  – “Water and Fire” winners. With this contest,  we have allowed us to recognize the remarkable work of many young writers over the years. We hope you will enjoy listening  their poems.
