Transparent privilege. In conversation with Aleksandra Pietrzak and Miłosz Markiewicz.
How to make cultural institutions more accessible to the visitors? Are there universal strategies to ensure that no one feels excluded or offended? The film focuses on the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, which is in the midst of transformation and reevaluation, to ask about the oppressive role of the canon in shaping the cultural consciousness of Europe. Can we imagine similar processes taking place in Polish institutions? After all, fighting the marginalisation of oppressed people is not so much a matter of political correctness as it is the foundation of responsible cohabitation of the world.
Discussion panel:
Aleksandra Pietrzak – assistant at the National Museum in Poznań, curator, art historian and critic, graduate of art history at the Jagiellonian University and modern art at the Pedagogical University of Krakow. She collaborated in the past with Zachęta, the online auction house Numarte+ and Galeria pod Baranami in Krakow. She writes for "Rynek i Sztuka", "Czas Kultury" and "Linia Prosta".
Miłosz Markiewicz – doctor of humanities, art historian and cultural expert. He is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Anthropology and Cultural Studies of the Adam Mickiewicz University and the literary director of the Silesian Theater in Katowice. His research is concerned with new understandings of community, the categories of non-presence and disability, as well as structural violence in cultural institutions.
