Readings For Artworkers, No. 2: Creative Industries and Knowledge Factories: Analysis and Resistance

“Journal of the Free / Slow University of Warsaw provides a summary of another year of activity of our educational para-institution. In 2010 we continued our critical reflection on the transformation of the public sphere in Poland. We analysed the current changes in creative and cultural circulation, in the world of independent initiatives, official institutions of art, academies and universities. We organised: 12 open seminars from the cycle Readers for Artworkers hosted by sociologists, artists, curators and activists; Second Congress of the Free / Slow University of Warsaw – Creative Industries and Knowledge Factories: Analysis and Resistance participated by educators, artists, activists and cultural theorists from the entire Europe. The present report includes texts and transcriptions that summarise our seminars, the congress and debates organised by the FSUW in 2010.”
