Home - the Road to Suprasl

The text originated from a selection of recorded interviews conducted with Maria Parczewska and Janusz Byszewski from the Creative Education Laboratory at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw. The conversations concerned the 'Home - my centre of the world' art project realized in Suprasl in September 2003. The prime organizer was the Polish Culture Institute at Warsaw University, with the British organization 'The Public' as an important participant. The authoress presented the most prominent motifs of the projects, its goals and structure of activity, and explained the motives for selecting the locality and the manner of realizing the theme. The attempts entailed reconstructing a vision of a home in Suprasl and its implementation, as well as building bonds between the participants of the undertaking, overcoming distrust and stereotypes, and creating a new reality and festivity.
