Hjörleifur Halldórsson | Diploma exhibition IMPERMANENCE

Hjörleifur Halldórsson | Diploma exhibition IMPERMANENCE Opening: June, 12 at 18:00Duration of exhibition: June, 12-15, 12:00 – 19:00 Impermanence Everything will eventually fade away.

This belief brings the peace of mind to accept the things that cannot be changed and the courage to change the things that can be changed, as well as the wisdom to distinguish between the two. What comes next will reveal itself in due time. My paintings are a form of narration of what usually becomesMore

B (20, 23 Lutego Str.) Over the years, Geert Lovink has mapped out a range of mental states caused by social media platforms, from sadness and melancholia to depression, silliness, boredom, exhaustion, up to the Zoom fatigue during Covid. In this lecture, he will give an overview of the extractive (data) strategies and focus on one particular state: loneliness. There is an inflation of worn-out terms, a linguistic implosion of meaning like the word ‘social’ in ‘social media’. As Sherry Turkle already noted in 2011, we are all alone together. This seems to be our techno-destiny. InsideMore

Catch your breath with UAP… – Sports Day at UAP

Catch your breath with UAP… – Sports’ Day at UAP 17.04.202411:00–14:00Building A/B To meet the expectations of people studying at the University of the Arts Poznan, we decided to organize the first ever UAP Sports Day! The saying „a healthy mind resides in a healthy body” should guide each of us, so with our initiative we want to encourage people working and studying at UAP to exercise more often. At the same time, we are aware that there will also be people skeptical about traditionally understood sport. This attitude results from associating physical activity with competition, repetition and the need to respect strict rules. With our actions, we intend to demystify sport and restore its ludic character. The disciplines we proposeMore
