The Time Machine

„Time machine"  project was devoted to the special places of Warsaw. Akademia's Pstryk facilitators led series of workshops in Praga youth club. Young people have produced  their own cameras and afterwards photos about Warsaw. The sequences of images were animated and as an effect Warsaw e-guide came into being (http://www.infowarsaw.info/).


How Warsaw’s marmarid set off on Zabkowska street.

3th Praga meeting with art took place on 10th September 2006 at Zabkowska street, in Praga borough of Warsaw.  A lot of attractions had waited on Varsavianos. Event included theatre shows, street-exhibitions, happenings and stage concerts. Also famous Praga galleries and studios were open for public.


Wars and Sawa

Wars and Sawa project was initiated by Marta Kotlarska who  started to work with children living in poorest district of Warsaw city (mainly Praga). In January 2006 11 children aged 7 - 15 created photographs and illustrations to the Warsaw legend "Wars and Sawa". Local community supervisors from Akademia Pstryk organized exhibitions of these pictures in Nizio Gallery and in public spaces like Central Railway Station and in Warsaw Metro. Pictures were also shown on Billboard stands. In the summer 2006 children from Warsaw's Praga district, aided by local community supervisors from Akademia Pstryk, held workshops to teach other children how to take pictures with the once-popular camera obscura. Young fans of this simple yet inspiring method of photography showed Warsaw residents how to take pictures with this pinhole camera. Pictures from workshops were sold on auction on internet - money was used for teaching English to children from Praga district.
