Watch the movie describing those issues to find out how extraordinary is the mother of the polish rivers and how much our future depends on protection of it’s “treasures”.

#CONCERT
Jazz in the Old Town
Warsaw is one of Europe’s Jazz Capitals. I like to boast that way, maybe it is not complete true but for sure our jazz has a long tradition and the popularity of this genre is great here. Dark cellars full of cigarette smoke seems to be most suitible space for a jazz concert but let’s not be so orthodox…This time we recommend the concert that will take place at the market square of the old town, the very heart of the medieval city. World class italian singer, arranger and multinstrumentalist Maria Pia will give a show. List of the artist with whom she collaborated before is impressive: Joe Zawinul, John Taylor, Art Ensemble of Chicago…Enjoy!

#EXHIBITION
Jew, Pole, Legionary
The exhibition depicts life stories, attitudes and work of Jewish members of the Piłsudski’s Polish Legions as well as history of Jewish civilians residing on the Polish territories occupied by various enemy countries. The exhibition sheds light on complex Polish-Jewish relations at the time of Poland regaining its independence: during the First World War, battling for the Polish borders and the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920.
The exposition consists of sculptures, paintings and graphic art as well as examples of artwork at the service of war and military propaganda – posters, proclamations, postcards and projections of films propagating Polish military action. It also comprises little-known images of German and Austrian war photographers, commemorative legionary rings and an original uniform.
Leopold Gottlieb, one of the most interesting Polish-Jewish artists in the first decades of the 20th century as well as a soldier of the First Brigade, is one of the exhibition protagonists. While both on the front line and at its rear, he produced several hundreds of drawings depicting Legions’ commanders (including several portraits of the brigadier Piłsudski) and his comrades in arms. Gottlieb also documented scenes of legionary life. (from: www.jewishmuseum.org)
