Institute for Polish Culture (Instytut Kultury Polskiej) is a part of Warsaw
University. We are a scientific and educational centre – we teach cultural
sciences - but we don’t avoid practical engagement in cultural and social matters.
The expression of this attitude is a vocational specialisation: “Culture
Animation.”.
The Public was formerly Jubilee Arts. Based in Sandwell in the West Midlands, this was an award winning community arts organisation which had been carrying out pioneering community arts work for thirty years locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. In 2006, the organization dissolved.
The CCA was established in 1985, based on the decision of the Polish Minister
of Art and Culture. First artistic projects were performed in 1988.
In 1991 the Centre was included in the list of National Institutions of Culture.
The Borderland Foundation (Fundacja Pogranicze) was established in 1990 in
the town of Sejny in north-east Poland,close to the border with Lithuania.The
