Lecture on “Culture and the City – The Case of Krakow”, at Bahrain National Museum Lecture Hall
Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities (BACA), organizes a lecture on “Culture and the City – The Case of Krakow” by Agata Wąsowska-Pawlik, on Wednesday 4 December 2019 at 6:00 pm at Bahrain National Museum Lecture Hall. Free admission.
The lecture will present the strengths and potentials of the tangible and intangible heritage of Krakow, and introduce the municipal strategies that aim to balance the protection of monuments (revitalization projects) and development of contemporary art. The lecture will portray the different dimensions of cultural life in Krakow, in addition to examining the relations between cultural life and the city itself.
In conclusion, the lecture will try to answer a provocative question: are cultural heritage related industries a burden or a capability for the city’s development, especially in the context of its impact on the quality of the citizens’ lives.
