Where do toys come from?
„Santa’s Workshop” documentary
Meeting with Yang Yu and Debby Chan
6.12.2011 time 19.00
On the occasion of St. Nicolas Day, when children in Poland traditionally receive presents, we will talk about situation of toy factory workers in China, where 80% of global production in that sector is located. Moreover, on 10th Dec we celebrate Human Rights Day. Processes of globalization and pressure of international competition often lead to severe human rights violations. Civil society organizations and trade unions worldwide fight against corporate practices, that sustain exploitation of workers at the bottom of the supply chain. What about us, consumers? Can we do something about it?
We will listen to the testimonial of Yang Yu, former worker of Tai Qiang factory, (manufacturing toys for Mattel) and Debby Chan, human and worker’s rights activist investigating working conditions in factories in Guangdong province. She represents the organization Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM, Hong Kong) which keeps track of abuses connected with manufacturing of brand products.

Perito Moreno - Hanna Nowicka
Opening:
Friday 25th November 2011, 18.00, Wyspa Institute of Art
Exhibition on view:
Tuesday - Sunday, 12.00-18.00
Perito Moreno is one of the largest glaciers in the world which melts into the Patagonian Lake Argentina and is still growing, despite the global warming. As a result of its continual enlargement the huge pressure of water makes the glacier break up and release frozen blocks. This on-going, spectacular process of the glacier calving takes place amidst the applause and cheers of spectators.
"Perito Moreno" speaks about our daily "breaking" because of seemingly petite reasons in unspectacular situations. Hanna Nowicka shows this little effective, unattractive and quite breaks of our own "glaciers" in seductive visual and sound layers.
