TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

From introduction: “This year’s theme of the festiwal is borrowed from the prophetic and best-selling 1970 book by Alvin Toffler, which described the disorienting effects of accelerated technological and social change. Confronted with an unprecedented sense of iformation overload, many artists reach bockward, side-ways and forward to re-imagine the future from the vantage point of the past , filtered through the present via outmoded technologies or disjointed contexts”

During one week (8.10- 16.10) you have a chance attend concerts, workshops, installations and movies. Let’s experience and try to ask ourselves about the future.

Full program you can find here and other useful info as locations and tickets.
