In Poland, it is voting time again; change is possible!

While living abroad, you can vote by letter only. You should order the documents NOW: www.gov.pl/web/gov/skorzystaj-z-uslugi-wyborczej

But let me tell you a story first. As on Monday, 8th June, any information about the postal vote for people living not in Poland hasn't been published on the Embassies website yet, so I called the Consular department in Berlin. I chose German as my speaking language from the menu. After I started my matter, the lady interrupted me and demanded I need to speak Polish, as it is about the election, we both seem to be Polish, and it is the "Polska Ambasada" I am talking with. While irritated at first, I explained, I don't feel comfortable enough to speak in Polish as I live in Germany for more than 30 years. This information lets the secretary state the following: As you are living for so long abroad, are you even fit enough to vote (freely quoted).

I don't know how self-absorbed you have to be, arrogant or close-minded. To vote is not a matter of knowledge, status, achievements, and other values by some numbers.—It is my right as a citizen!

I don't live in Poland since 1987. But I still feel with my Danzig-rooted core what real freedom is and when it starts to disappear. It is not up to the secretary, a consul, or anybody else to question a citizen's rights.

About one decade ago, the former vice prime minister, Waldemar Pawlak, and Ambassador Dr. Marek Prawda were the patrons for a conference between Germany and Poland I co-organized.—With a new king in the castle, who would have thought the fish stinks now not only from the head—but vice versa, too?

To close up with some pathos and the former called "Song of the Polish Legions in Italy" for Poles in Emigration: "Poland has not yet perished" ("Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła"), as long as we go and vote!—Maybe the history of this poem is something the current Embassy's staff should revisit.

AN EVENT WORTH VISITING, A PAGE WORTH GIVE A LIKE!

visit warsaw on the 19th - 20th may!

♥ WHAT IS ART YARD SALE?

ART YARD SALE is a unique event organised in Warsaw, Poland.
It is an event designed to unite all aspects of contemporary art: graphics, illustration, painting, photography, design and fashion.
The Art Yard Sale provides a unique opportunity to meet and talk with designers as well as buy works by Poland’s most talented artists – both young talent and high-calibre names in the art scene.
For two days, the artists will move their studios and boutiques to the AYS venue.
The Art Yard Sale prides itself in its diversity.

♥ WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE?

By organising Art Yard Sale we want to revive the idea of the Cheap Art Fairs organized by the RASTER gallery.
We want to remind people that the essence of art lies in its social presence. We want to help designers reach a broader audience. We want their works to be seen by a mass audience and to find their way into private homes instead of being confined to galleries or left to hibernate in museums and bank stocks.
The huge success of the first edition of Art Yard Sale proved that contemporary art can be incorporated into everyday life and become available for everyone.
Description
We want the Art Yard Sale to – and long last – pin Warsaw on the artist map of Europe.

We want Art Yard Sale to become a platform for cooperation among the participating artists as well between the artists and their audience.
