The unique Hutsul culture of south-western Ukraine will be discussed by Maciej Rychły and the author of documentary films presented during the meeting, Krzysztof Krzyżanowski.

Krzysztof Krzyżanowski – a historian by profession, journalist, reporter and a man of the mountains. Fascinated by Hutsulshchyna – the sense of pride, freedom and liberty of its inhabitants – he made a number of films about this extraordinary region of Ukraine. Some of them will be screened during the meeting on Saturday.

Maciej Rychły – a psychologist by profession, multi-instrumentalist, composer, cultural anthropologist, writer. Co-founder and leader of the legendary Jorgi Quartet (Kwartet Jorgi). In the years 1989-2004, he was associated with the „Gardzienice” Centre for Theatre Practices. He cooperates with numerous theatres and universities and creates film music. In recent years, he has composed music and participated in the productions of Song of the Goat Theatre in Wrocław, such as „Songs of Lears”, "Cherry Orchard„ and ”Return of The Voice".
The meeting about Hutsulshchyna will be accompanied by an exhibition of works by Halyna Dudar, a Lviv-based artist whose work is clearly inspired by the material culture of the Eastern and Southern Carpathians.
