TEDxKrakowCinema November

grzegorz — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 11:46:43 +0000

November’s TEDxKrakówCinema will take place as usual on the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm at Kino Pauza. Like in March of this year, the theme will be food and specifically culinary festivals, like Najedzeni Fest! which took place at the end of October (www.najedzenifest.blogspot.com). We’ll discuss whether these sorts of initiatives change our communites, and what they mean for restaurants, chefs, food bloggers as well as restaurant goers. Together with Magda Wójcik, who co-founded the festival, we’ll talk about what we are looking for in food, whether it can give us a sense of belonging and community, how contemporary food culture influences and organises our lives and why these sorts of events are so popular.

The meeting will be in Polish. Entry is free.

TEDxKrakowCinema October

grzegorz — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 07:40:39 +0000

It’s time for another TEDxKrakówCinema. This coming Tuesday, we will meet again at Kino Pauza. This time we will talk about the activities showcasing the secrets of a city, things happening underneath the surface, projects that might not be widely known but yet are very important to the urban community. Often because such initiatives uncover history that hasn’t been discussed in some time, such as the project called “Path of Women of Krakow”. Our guest of the evening will be Natalia Sarat from Women’s Space Foundation (www.przestrzenkobiet.pl).

The meeting will be held in Polish. Admission is free.

TEDxKrakówCinema June

grzegorz — Tue, 28 May 2013 13:00:16 +0000

It’s time for another inspiring TEDxKrakówCinema evening! This time, we’ll talk about what’s happening in the city.

We will look at urban initiatives – see how FabLabs and other labs work, where “hackers” and “makers” solve problems with new and old technologies while having a lot of fun doing it. We will talk about some grassroots initiatives that are taking place in Kraków such as Hackerspace Kraków or newly opened „Wytwórnia.” We’ll have a workshop focused on bringing back the culture of DIY – Do It Yourself – and together we will explore how it changes our lives, both locally and globally.

The guest for June’s TEDxKrakówCinema event will be Jacek Złydach – blogger, active member of Hackerspace Kraków, technology coordinator of the Quantified Self Kraków initiative, and, as he proclaims himself, the”3D printing Do It Yourself evangelist.”

Please join us next Tuesday (June 4) at 19.00 at Kino Pauza, located at ul. Floriańskiej 18. The meeting will be held in Polish. Free admission

TEDxKrakówCinema

We’re coming up to Easter, which has always had a close association with food. It marks the end of the long winter period and the lenten fast and the start of spring. Here in Poland we have numerous foods that are only made and eaten at Easter, as well as the centuries-old tradition of taking a basket of symbolic foods to be blessed. So with this in mind, at the March edition of TEDxKrakowCinema we will be talking about food and how we eat..
Access to wholesome, safe, nourishing food is considered by many to be a basic human right – integral to healthy people and communities. Yet as eaters most of us are part of a complex system of farmers, food processors, wholesalers, distributors, regulators and cooks. What’s more, as city dwellers, this system is largely invisible to us, so we have to trust that all the parts are working properly to deliver to us what we need.
Yet the growing rate of ‘lifestyle diseases’ and obesity in the western world, as well as the perennial problem of hunger in the developing world suggests that despite massive industrialisation and rationalisation of how we produce our food, something’s not quite right.
So through the TED Talks we will be watching this month, we’ll have a look at where our food comes from, what it’s doing to us and what we can do in response.
