„Climate changes us” is the main theme of this year's Przemiany Festival, during which we will analyse different strategies for getting out of the climate crisis. Don't worry, our intention isn't to scare you with an on-coming catastrophe. On the contrary – we will focus on the most effective methods of avoiding it.

The inaugural lecture of the XI Przemiany Festival will be delivered by Professor Naomi Oreskes, an American science historian from Harvard's University, who focuses on research regarding climate denialism and the trust in science. Lately, Oreskes' work became an inspiration for Joanna Rajkowska's exhibition Rhizopolis at Zachęta gallery, and last year – The Penumbral Age exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

Przemiany exhibition connects science, engineering, art, and design. Next to informative and educative exhibits, you will find also those that are meant to impact you emotionally, or are more closely related to your everyday experiences. At the exhibition, it will be possible to personally meet the creators of some exhibits.
Industry-level CO2 emissions have a negative impact on the climate. The scientific consensus on this have been achieved decades ago. One of the most important actions that need to be taken, in order to solve the climate crisis, is leaving fossil fuels behind, and creating systems of energy that reduce emissions to as low as possible. However, the scientific consensus didn't create a political one. The transition period has been a time of anxiety, uncertainty, and doubt.
Are energy transition and other global operations, which aim to solve the climate crisis, also a cause for cultural transformations? Who are the climate deniers, who would do anything to slow down the fight against global warming? We will be asking questions like these during the festival.
