On 4-5 February 2023, the first meeting of the Artistic Council of the Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki Artistic Residency Programme took place in Krzyżowa.
Artistic Residency is a new, long-term project carried out by the Krzyzowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe together with 66P Subjective Cultural Institution from Wrocław. The aim of the programme is to run an international residency for socially engaged artists in Krzyzowa in the spirit of Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki's values. The programme is intended to serve international artistic exchange and promote a culture of dialogue and understanding. During the meeting, the Council not only worked out the details of the new programme, but also became acquainted with the historical heritage and activities of the Krzyzowa Foundation.
The Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki Artistic Residency Programme was established thanks to a donation from Renata and Rafał Jarodzki and Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka.
The Artistic Council consists of: Bożena Grzyb-Jarodzka, Rafał Jarodzki, Anna Kudarewska, Zbigniew Libera, Renata Micherda-Jarodzka, Dorota Monkiewicz, Joanna Sokołowska, Vera Załuskaya and, as an advisory voice, Michał Czapliński. On behalf of the Krzyzowa Foundation, the meeting was attended by PhD Robert Żurek, Managing Director, and Maryna Czaplińska, a member of the Foundation Council.
