Plants Have More to Say Than We Think

Botanist, poet, essayist and SGGW professor has for years been convincing us that the world of plants is far more complex than it might seem at first glance. During the conversation she will introduce participants to the extraordinary survival strategies of plants, talk about the relationships between the world of flora and fauna, and reveal the behind-the-scenes of creating her book "Patyki, badyle". There will also be an opportunity to talk about poetry, language and inspirations found in forests, their nooks and labyrinths. Urszula Zajączkowska is the author of poetry collections "Atomy", "minimum" and "Piach", the libretto for the opera "Szczur i Drzewo" and the book "Patyki, badyle". For her work she has received, among others, the Kościelski Foundation Award, the "Złota Róża" and the Gdynia Literary Award. The meeting will take place on 21 October at 6:30 p.m. at the Main Library at ul. Kolegiacka 3. The event is financed by the funds of the Social Communication Centre of the Capital City of Warsaw as part of the project "Eko-skwer – the Wilanów meeting point with nature for the local community".
