The expertise on cultural institutions and significant cultural and art events is delivered in an under- standable and competent manner. It also provides readers with information on some projects financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, many actions supported by local authorities and activities promoting Polish culture abroad. The data is based on the latest indicators for the years 2015 and 2016 and also the tendencies resulting from long-term processes and projects are taken into consideration. The statistical data, trends and correlations described in this Yearbook constitute a basic work tool for anyone whose decisions are driven by reliable and research-based knowledge. Therefore, I am absolutely convinced that this publication will become a daily source of information for culture managers, public officers and entrepreneurs. It is available in a printed and electronic form. The English edition of Polish Culture Yearbook 2016 will undoubtedly be useful for foreign recipients as it serves as a “toolbox” for anyone who wants to learn more about Polish culture. Professor Piotr Gliński, PhD Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Culture and National Heritage Publisher’s Note 2016 We are delighted to present you the first edition of Polish Culture Yearbook 2016. The reason behind it is the posibbility of promoting Polish culture by sharing the latest and most reliable data on the topic profesionally. In our country, research studies carried out in the field of culture result in a high number of valuable publications but, unfortunately, they describe the issue only fragmentarily. It is difficult to find among them any high-quality monographic publications on contemporary Polish culture that would allow comparative analysis on a year-to-year basis. Thus, we have come up with Polish Culture Yearbook that combines meticulous and professional data presentation with easy language, synthetic approach and rich graphic layout. The yearbook has been created for a wide audience, including the representatives of foreign organizations that intend to establish coopera- tion with Polish institutions, as well as people involved in the develop- ment of cultural policy at various levels. The latter group of recipients encompasses also public officers and employees of institutions who must POLISH CULTURE YEARBOOK POLISH CULTURE consider the current state of culture in their decision-making processes. Moreover, this publication is also directed at the representatives of Polish companies that plan to launch their operations in any specific field of cul- ture and researchers looking for information on the Polish culture-related institutions and their operations. The objective of this yearbook is to provide a better overview of trends observed in individual areas of Polish culture and illustrate issues that read- ers will be able to explore further in more detail in accordance with their own needs. To meet the above challenges, we invited Polish institutions involved in the individual fields of culture to work with us and we have built up a team of experts who collected and edited respective sections of this yearbook with the use of data generated for their own needs. Therefore, readers can be sure that this publication contains only knowledge provided by experts in a respective field. The thematic layout of this yearbook reflects the distribution of tasks in the field of cultural research among institutions that are subject to the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The chapter entitled Fields of Culture and National Heritage has been written by the Head Office of the State Archives, the National Library, the Polish Film Institute, the National Institute for Museums and Public Collections, the Institute of Music and Dance, the Book Institute, the Theatre Institute and the National Institute 7 of Heritage. The chapter dedicated to public media has been edited jointly 2016 by Polish Radio and Polish Television. The chapter describing the funding of culture by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has been writ- ten by the Department of Stage Patronage of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, while the sections concerning art education and Poland’s position on the international stage have been developed by the Centre for Art Education and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, respectively. This yearbook has been supplemented by the analysis conducted by the Research Department of the National Centre for Culture, Poland, based on internal and external data, as well as the Varia chapter that contains some of the most interesting reports published in Poland in 2016. The last section on the International Chopin Piano Competition was written by the National Institute of Frederic Chopin. We hope that, over time, this publication will reflect the current state of the Polish culture in the forthcoming years and contribute to better co- operation within the cultural sector and firmer establishment of intersecto- ral relationships, including global relations. I am absolutely convinced that POLISH CULTURE YEARBOOK POLISH CULTURE Polish Culture Yearbook 2016 is a much-needed publication that will find place in a private library of anyone to whom the Polish culture is important.

The mysterious part of it, though, is that the joining of those pieces-the "cut" in American termi­ nology 4-actually does seem to work, even though it represents a total and instantaneous displacement of one field of vision with another, a displacement that sometimes also entails a jump forward or backward in time as well as space. It works; but it could easily have been otherwise, since nothing in our day-to-day experience seems to prepare us for such a thing.

  • Polish Cinema for Beginners
    Polish Cinema for Beginners "Polish Cinema for Beginners" is a unique project - the first of its kind - both in Wroclaw and all of Poland, whose first edition took place in 2012 and was very popular with audiences. It is aimed directly at foreigners in order to present them with the masterpieces of Polish cinema. This will be shown, with English subtitles, on the big screen in Kino Nowe Horyzonty (New Horizons Cinema). In order to present the historical and artistic context of the films, each screening is introduced by a lecture in English, led by renowned experts - film scholars , journalists and scientists. Thanks to this, the project has not only entertainment, but also educational value, thus serving as a valuable course in Polish culture. Each screening is followed by an open discussion in which different cultural viewpoints are shared. After the discussion, viewers are cordially invited to a Polish Party in Wroclaw’s Gradient Club (at Solny Square). Our goal Through regular meetings and screenings of Polish films, we want to support the integration process of foreigners living in Wroclaw. We also want to show the history of Polish cinema and, more broadly, Polish culture, by placing the films in a wider socio- historical context. English-speaking Polish viewers will have the opportunity to see their native Polish films from a slightly different perspective, which - as shown by the reactions of foreigners during post-screening discussions – is sometimes surprising. What is more, we want to co-create the identity of Wroclaw as a city that stands out on the Polish map by offering equal- opportunity access to the cultural heritage of our country, by being an open city, and – especially in the context of its being chosen as European Capital of Culture 2016 – by offering an interesting and unique range of cultural and educational activities.

Title: Histories of Trauma, Futures of Identity, As Told by the Kitchens of the Polish Diaspora. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Bradley Boovy A recipe as a piece of text can tell a variety of stories as well as any other. Using a feminist rhetorical analysis, I read my grandmother’s personal recipe journal to show that her writings contain valuable information about women’s lives in twentieth century Poland. Through the close examination of three recipes, I argue that family knowledges inherited through cooking serve as a larger commentary on the social, political, and economic conditions of their lived experiences. The use of recipes especially prioritizes Polish women as cultural stewards and knowledge producers, as their work in kitchens is fundamental to the maintenance of the family and state.

Today, after nearly 20 years, the wars are over, in most areas peace has set in, and stability has been achieved. And yet, in our interview with Blerim Reka, he echoes Clinton’s words saying: “It is the duty of our generation to tell our grandchildren the successful story of the Balkans, different from the bloody Balkans one which we were told about.” This and many more observations made by the authors of this issue of New Eastern Europe piece together a complex picture of a region marred by a painful past and facing a hopeful, yet fragile future.

    POLAND Culture and Art ISBN 978-83-8010-013-8 www.poland.travel EN Culture and Art 3 Culture and Art Culture and Art 5 Culture: Our national heritage and the testimony of romantic reflections Polish culture is woven from the memories of past greatness and the dreams of a better future, and its national character is deeply rooted in Romanticism. In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

  • Chopin Day in Rapperswil Organised by the Arthur Rubinstein International Music Foundation, Lodz in Cooperation with the Polish Museum in Rapperswil
    Chopin Day in Rapperswil Organised by the Arthur Rubinstein International Music Foundation, Lodz in cooperation with the Polish Museum in Rapperswil “Chopin Day in Rapperswil” will take place in Rapperswil’s medieval castle, which for almost 140 years has housed the Polish Museum. The event, a cultural collaboration between the Rubinstein Foundation and the Polish Museum, marks the 160th anniversa- ry of the death of Frederic Chopin (Paris, 17/10/1849) and the coming 140th anniversary of the founding of the first polish museum – the Polish National Museum in Rapperswill (23/10/1870). We would like raise the profile of Poland’s rich culture in Europe, and we are going to stage the Year of Chopin 2010, which will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth (Żelazowa Wola, 01/03/1810). We will also celebrate the greatest Polish ‘Chopinist’ (interpreter of Chopin’s works) of the 20th century, Arthur Rubinstein, who was born in Lodz in 1887 and died in Switzerland in 1982, and whose portrait can be seen in the Polish Museum’s Gallery of Distinguished Poles. A week before (17th October 2009) – on the 160th anniversary of Chopin’s death – the foundation is organising “Chopin Day in Lodz”, consisting of a mass, concert and exhibition held in Lodz Cathedral. Please contact the organisers to reserve places and to receive invitations for the events. In inviting everybody to the celebrations and events, we urge those willing to help out finan- cially or with expertise to contact the Rubinstein Foundation.
