<\/span><\/div>In the second week (10-16 June) of the longest night in the world \u2013 Night of Culture 2021, we will be greeted by a contemporary urban paj\u0105k chandelier, find ourselves enchanted by a city jungle made of thousands of PET bottles and puzzled by the \u201cmad tea\u201d in the courtyard of Workshops of Culture.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s long-awaited Night of Culture takes place between 4 June and 21 July. This special edition will last several weeks and take the form of strolls in search of installations hidden around Lublin\u2019s Old Town. The reasons are clear. Workshops of Culture want to ensure the safety of visitors by extending the display of installations beyond one night. While wandering around the streets and back alleys and going through gates in the Old Town, we will look for magic and beauty. The installations will change every week. We will show you objects that couldn\u2019t appear last year and reveal brand-new pieces. We will soon present the complete programme at nockultury.pl. This year\u2019s theme is Might of Culture. Might is potent and powerful. The word can also mean forceful spiritual energy. Motivating and rallying others to combine their strength and work together. We\u2019re stronger when we\u2019re together. Might is in the people! We want to invite everyone to rediscover Lublin and continue to treat it tenderly. As it is your presence that inspires and drives our activities. Might of Culture be with you!<\/p>\n New installations <\/b><\/p>\n Re4rest (10-23.06, Archidiako\u0144ska 1 \/ gate)<\/b><\/p>\n An original project by Patka Smirnow and Karina Kr\u00f3lak. The artists have processed recycled materials \u2013 PET bottles. They have used several thousand of these bottles to create a jungle, a garden of exotic plants. The artists have noticed the incredible potential of PET bottles and decided to transform them into objects bringing to mind very organic associations. Flowers, leaves, grass. In addition to the artistic and educational value of the project, the artists also use the bottles to make decorative utilities for flats and office spaces: vertical gardens, jungle patches for every room, combining ecology and art with ethical priorities.<\/p>\n The City Paj\u0105k \u2013 chandelier (10-23.06, The Gothic Tower, behind Krakowska Gate to the right. <\/b><\/p>\n The installation refers to an old folk tradition of hanging ornaments, called paj\u0105ki, from the ceiling. Paj\u0105ki chandeliers used to be made of straw and crepe paper and were said to be lucky charms, bringing the household good luck, health and fortune. Contemporary versions are made with the same intention in mind, though the shape and materials have changed. The City Paj\u0105k has been created especially for Lublin with the best wishes of happiness and good health.<\/p>\n Mad Tea Party (10-23.06, 1.-21.07, Grodzka 7 patio, open until 17.00)<\/b><\/p>\n A teapot with three spouts, a teacup with a handle inside, cupcakes sprinkled with clock hands \u2013 ceramic wonders which convey the atmosphere of a mad afternoon tea party. Alice, Mad Hatter and Dormouse would be happy to sit at a table filled with such curiosities.<\/p>\n The City Jungle (10-23.06, Jezuicka 16)<\/b><\/p>\n A plant wall. Pawe\u0142 Adamiec invites us into a world of original recycled plastic plants that imitate the form and colour of exotic species and penetrates city spaces.<\/p>\n What stays:<\/b><\/p>\n Chandeliers! (04.06-16.06, gates: Grodzka 7, Grodzka 5, Grodzka 3)<\/b><\/p>\n An installation consisting of four thousand ping pong balls will be hung above the street. The balls will move gently in the wind, coming to life.<\/p>\n City Moments \/ Lublin \u2013 Vilnius (04.06-18.06, corridor on the ground floor of Workshops of Culture)<\/b><\/p>\n The exhibition pf photography by Jakub Orzechowski and Ignac Tokarczyk who accompanied the adventures of Night of Culture in Lublin and Vilnius in 2019. They capture many colourful moments \u2013 memories.<\/p>\n Object speak (4.06-21.07, Old Town)<\/b><\/p>\n There are many challenges during the pandemic. The time of isolation served as a pretext to look differently at objects of daily use. Every item has its story; it\u2019s enough to listen to hear the story of a seemingly silent object. The exhibition \u201cObject speak\u201d consists of static illustrations that come to life with the help of the Artvive app to show an animated film presenting the thoughts and reflections of people forced into distance learning during the most creative period in their lives. Watch out, however, as this is not an ordinary exhibition. Look out for static illustrations all over the Old Town. Start your journey at Dominika\u0144ski Square and make sure to download Artvive.<\/p>\n They must reinvent their world\u2026(04.06-16.06, Ku Farze street)<\/b><\/p>\n During the Covid-19 pandemic, adults preoccupied with work, saving relationships and extinguishing conflicts that erupt in confinement push away children\u2019s issues. Children don\u2019t have a voice; they have been locked in homes, deprived of exercise and contact with friends, have no opportunity to vent their frustrations, and are often prone to domestic violence. Photos show the author\u2019s children aged 4,8, and 12. They were taken between March 2020 and 2021. Anna Hernik\u2019s reportage, nominated in Grand Press Photo 2021 contest in the category \u201cEveryday Life\u201d.<\/p>\n Night of Culture\u2019s fish memories (04.06-21.07, Bramowa street)<\/b><\/p>\n We have been collecting mementoes from the past editions of the festival, and this year, we\u2019re bringing some of them out. Any day is good for fishing\u2026two fantastic fish will be hung above our heads. The energetic, colourful fish by Jaros\u0142aw Koziara and the monochromatic one by Francois Monnet.<\/p>\n Intro (until 21.07, Z\u0142ota 1)<\/b><\/p>\n A fascinating place awaits your viewing \u2013 on the one hand, it\u2019s inconspicuous, almost hidden from view, but on the other, it compels you to take a look!<\/p>\n Planet Lublin (04.06-21.07, \u0141okietka Square)<\/b><\/p>\n An art installation inspired by the traditional globe of the earth in which one city becomes the whole world. How to extract a fragment from the world and turn it into a finite reality, how to transform a city into an entire world?<\/p>\n CityTender: maple and black Locust (4.06-21.07, Wr\u00f3blewskiego, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska)<\/b><\/p>\n We have concluded that one of the most beautiful ways of giving the city affection is to plant new trees. We proudly present Norway maple and black locust.<\/p>\n Guernica (4.06-21.07, Lublin Castle courtyard)<\/b><\/p>\n Pablo Picasso\u2019s \u201cGuernica\u201d (1937) is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It\u2019s a universal, timeless artistic protest against the cruelty of war. Students from the University College of Enterprise and Administration in Lublin (WSPA) bring the painting to life through acting and a stage design of their creation.<\/p>\n Dominika\u0144ska street bats (4.06-21.07, Dominika\u0144ska street)<\/b><\/p>\n “There are no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat and that’s very like a mouse, you know” – said Alice in Lewis Carroll\u2019s book. Are mice like bats? We will find the answer in Dominika\u0144ska street when we look up.<\/p>\n Cats on the Roof (4.06-21.07, Zamkowy Square\/rooftops)<\/b><\/p>\n Rooftops will be decorated with a dozen or so black and white flags depicting cats. The cats are made of fabric and are based on designs by Andrzej Kot, an outstanding visual artist, calligrapher and illustrator from Lublin.<\/p>\n These are just a few of the installations you will be able to see during the longest Night of Culture ever. Every week, new installations will take Lublin\u2019s residents and visitors by surprise. The map of available attractions will be available at nockultury.pl in the section FESTIVAL MAP. The map will mark attractions you can see, and it will be updated every week.<\/p>\n All events are outdoors, and admission is free. You do not need to register; go out on a stroll around the Old Town.<\/p>\n Night of Culture Old Town in Lublin<\/span><\/p>\n Organisers:<\/b> Warsztaty Kultury w Lublinie Miasto Lublin<\/p>\n The Mayor of Lublin, Krzystof \u017buk has assumed Honorary Patronage.<\/p>\n Media patronage: TVP 2, TVP Kultura, TVP 3 Lublin, Gazeta Wyborcza Lublin, Radio Lublin<\/p>\n Up-to-date programme at: www.nockultury.pl<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>
