took place in late September, amid the COVID-19 pandemic this year’s edition
featured exclusively Polish artists. I met with artists of both the classically
and intuitively trained varieties. Through a variety of experimentation,
improvisation and delicate curation they explored what music meant in 2020 and
we discussed how a festival as such could continue to preserve collective
foundations in Poland’s Art Industry while advancing forward in the face of
shifting paradigms of division and uncertainty.
