COMING SOON
An event called Ethnic Inspirations-Community in Culture will be held in Warsaw Nov. 25-28, dedicated to promoting artists who draw from Polish culture and those of other nations and ethnic groups. The festival is designed to present Warsaw as a cultural melting pot-a city open to the overlapping influences of many cultures. This is an artistic offer addressed to young people interested in folklore and cultural influences in literature, music, film and graphic art. The program includes concerts by folk bands such as Kapela Jankiela, Kroke, Matragona, Chudoba and Checz. These will be accompanied by an International Graphic Competition for Children and Young People, dedicated to the "Beauty of the Beskidy and Bieszczady Mountains" and inspired by the poetry of Jerzy Harasymowicz. Also planned are Jewish culture workshops. The festival will be held at the Rakowiec Culture Center, 8 Wiślicka St. and the Center of Creative Activities, at 36a, 1 Sierpnia St. Admission is free.
