Festival of Dialogue

The first edition took place on June 6-8, 2024 at the Szałfynster gallery in Katowice.

I was responsible for creating the festival’s concept, program, and graphic identity. I collaborated on the event with the Einai Foundation, Kamil Ambrosiewicz, and Adrianna Kochańska.

“What is dialogue? Intergenerational, intercity, interpersonal. How do we create an atmosphere of dialogue? How do we foster it? Body, word, music, city, nature, game, art?

The festival’s goal is to create comfortable conditions for engaging in discussion on a variety of issues. We want to invite the residents of our region to a lively conversation on topics prepared by our guests. We strive to break down the barrier between speaker and audience, allowing them to boldly express their opinions during the discussion.”
