“Don\u2019t panic, organise!”<\/b> or “Birds of a feather\u2014or fish of a fin\u2014flock together!”<\/b> Those catchy lines are the heart and soul of Mission: Fish (Shoal).<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the wild, hanging out in a shoal is a genius survival hack\u2014it\u2019s how fish dodge predators and hunt down snacks. Humans are exactly the same. Whether we\u2019re huddling around a campfire or bonding over shared ideas, we\u2019re just better together. So, dive in and join the fun!<\/p>\n

Why fish?<\/h2>\n

Even though this year\u2019s festival theme is “Birds of the Night,” our school of fish will be that unexpected splash of color that completes the city\u2019s magic. Fish have been a huge muse for Night of Culture artists for years. Plus, Lublin is practically built on them: we\u2019ve got Rybny (Fish) Square, Rybna Street, and Rybna Gate right in the heart of the Old Town. Heck, the word for “tench” (lin<\/i>) is even swimming right inside the name Lublin<\/b>!<\/p>\n
