The first meetings of the Co-thinking project, which were networking sessions for people involved in artistic research, paved the way for self-examination and self-organisation activities that we intend to develop as an informal group. This text is, therefore not a summary of a completed project, but an account of an ongoing process. It is also a snippet of a heterogeneous, polyphonic archive of cooperation and a preview of our future activities. We plan to gradually share other parts of this archive, starting with a story about the facilitation experience from the perspective of the people responsible for supporting the group process.

In December 2024, we completed the second edition of the WOK residency, conducted in line with the motto ‘Break or Breakthrough’. During this residency, we supported the individual creative processes of 13 people (five of whom formed two collectives). We now give them the floor to talk about their experiences.

On Thursday, 6 June 2024, we had the pleasure of tasting chilled kombucha and sampling vegan delicacies at the Warsaw Observatory of Culture, all thanks to the annual meeting with the winners of the City of Warsaw's artistic scholarships, as well as directors and representatives of cultural institutions. We can humbly say that the invited guests had a great time listening to the achievements of the 55 scholarship holders.

What does the contemporary art community of Warsaw need from an independent space?

Inspiration for new projects usually comes from everything I see, hear, and read ina given time, and this requires time and the ability to focus on the process.

Through activism, I persistently strive to turn Poland into a welcoming country for everyone, and a place filled with acceptance, joy, and freedom of expression.

I noticed the need for a radical change in relations with more-than-humans when I tried to define the climate crisis as a crisis of dialogue.

My change is a transition from the imaginary to the real.
