Small Centre of the World, Krzysztof Czyżewski

“Making through action” means that Czyżewski does not consider utopia a noun but a verb: a process, an act, a condition or activity requiring freedom. The author resolves potential tensions between freedom and the developing of connections by writing about practi­cing freedom “defined as interdependence rather than autonomy”. Ultimately, therefore, those who won recognition thanks to their struggle for emancipation, ought to develop the skill of combining their own separateness with solidarity. Wherever bridges prevail over breakage; where tangible and non-tangible societal bonds form; where people meet to try and express that which divides them; where naming broken bridges results in “connective tissue” building processes; where a foreigner is not a stranger – a small centre of the world is born. - PRZEMYSŁAW CZAPLIŃSKI
