About the culture of excess / about excess in culture | Thursday Breakfast #12

Excess in culture manifests itself in the number of events, overproduction of gadgets or advertising materials. Sometimes, in the pursuit of indicators or audience needs, we do too much in culture – and not only the quality of the program suffers, but also the institution’s team and audiences, who have to choose between events that are implemented at the same time.

At the next Thursday Breakfast, we will talk about how to produce less without losing sight of our audiences. We will consider to what level multiplicity enriches our lives, and when we should say “stop” to ourselves. Together we will think about what are the causes of the culture of excess and look for solutions on how to prevent it.

Thursday Breakfasts are discussions where all voices are treated equally, and the essence is to meet and exchange experiences. All those involved in the cultural and creative sector are invited.

The guest speaker at the meeting will be Grazyna Pol, a social researcher who heads the Research and Analysis Department at the National Cultural Center. As of 2019, she is developing a research program on the culture of excess at the NCK.
