second round of presidential elections in Krakow seems to indicate the behavior of existing systems, and also in culture. Events and speeches last week provoked me to some reflections.
I feel that fear is everywhere, which is strange, because we live in a democracy and city authorities certainly do not wish to see their fear, but rather contrary to the public telling the truth would indicate a healthy democracy, and healthy relationships in the city. I hope that the mechanisms of cooperation with the democratically selected local authority will do their own and will not be able to experience more events that I am a voice embodies the environment in the face of his fear of exposure to the city authorities and their supporters, just - laziness.
why none of the journalists and none of the critics are not caught up institutionally - as I am - this does not even stuttered? The "it", ie the situation of culture in Krakow, which all have much to say in casual conversations. None of the leading city institutions did not protest publicly against drastic cuts.
Why do we, people of culture, we can not utter a word about himself or how pathetic is the situation of culture in Krakow in 2010, in an election year, when the budget for this year's municipal institutions was already truncate the beginning of the year by 30% and the city's budget for culture is handed out according to vague criteria, save one: the emphasis on festivals and the everyday culture of disrespect and disregard for the needs of the many cultural centers in Krakow, not well off in these districts, which, with its capital of culture is associated .
In addition, in light of recent events bothers me question what are the limits of embarrassment, lack of professionalism and self-denial in public positions in the culture, someone finally authorized and opinion-reacted? And if the museum might be called a museum because he wants the mayor? Or rather, how much is expected to last for the creation of the museum, allowing for evasive action provisions of the Act on museums?
What I would like to pass this entry, then adding the courage to people of culture in our city. If we let ourselves be convinced bureaucratic indolence and just disregard our - citizens - opinion under the guise of a legally valid (ślimaczych, because dependent on the president) decisions on key issues, ie staffing mode, a culture in Krakow will be reliant on the mercy of festiwalowiczów and will simply be the result of will power and the particular suggestions. What, moreover, for 4 years, so it would be a little pull back.
