The impulse that prompted Komuna/Warszawa to work on the subject of war was a series of grim situations from the past few years: the war in Ukraine and the Middle East – Brexit – Trump’s victory. Increasingly, there is an idea that war in Europe may stop being just a history, so we need to ask questions: Are we prepared for war? Does the memory of war make maintaining peace easier? Can war be fair? Do historical policies open up the wounds and are they arming society to be ready to fight.
Komuna/Warszawa will be talking about war and wars in their various contexts and scenes, but with an emphasis on their real – non-heroic and personal – dimension. Komuna/Warszawa’s approach is purely pragmatic – focused on practice and the cost of survival.
