Spokój w skansenie

ustamagazyn_admin
Nie da się ukryć, że pandemiczne wydarzenia zmieniły nasz sposób życia w mieście, korzystania z knajp, imprezowania. Kiedy myślimy o wyjątkowej kolacji, raczej nie planujemy już tak ochoczo wieczoru z menu degustacyjnym – chcemy czegoś na luzie, pragniemy oddechu. I na tę potrzebę odpowiada świetnie kolektyw KoperBernNowicki, tworząc miejsce spotkań w skansenie w Nowej Suchej oraz inauguracyjne wydarzenie pod nazwą „Uczta Nastroje”.

Floral Celebration

ustamagazyn_admin

On June 6, we are going to celebrate the Festival of Flowers for the sixth time! We are really looking forward to the long-postponed meeting with you, our guests and sellers in Warsaw at the Mysia 3 Shopping Centre. We love this yearly tradition of starting the new season with a floral celebration. As each year, we have invited flower stores, plant sellers, as well as small craft brands producing ceramics, vases and plant pots. You will also have a chance to try plant-based cosmetics, try on clothes and jewellery with floral patterns, eat vegan food, sweets and snacks from local bakeries and drink exquisite herbal infusions and coffee.

USTA 25 – THE FORCE

Monika Brzywczy

When we chose the theme of this issue, we thought we would be releasing it into a beautiful healthy Polish spring. At the time when everything around starts getting back to life, but we are still tired of the long winter, lack of sunshine and optimism. The time, when we need new source of energy. Meanwhile, just before we sent this issue to print, we were hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which turned the world, as we knew it upside down. The world stopped and we held our breaths, concerned about what is happening around us. We are full of contradictory feelings. From panic and fear for the health of our families and loved ones to concern for the future of our businesses, economy and education. On the other hand, the virus achieved what seemed impossible: it stood in the way of the galloping consumerism.

USTA Magazine – The Classic

ustamagazyn_admin
The autumn issue of the USTA Magazine is already out. Let’s take a look what awaits you inside. Here is some sneak peak. The autumn season puts us in a nostalgic mood. Another summer has passed, the leaves are turning red, conkers and acorns are torpedoing the streets, and we are trying to keep poker faces up against the incoming chills and the looming winter in our beautiful country. At this time of the year, it is good to turn to proven methods of lifting oneself up. The classic forms and flavours. The quality, the elegance, the simplicity. The durability and the chance to rely on the tradition seem especially encouraging in the autumn/winter season. This is why we devoted a lot of attention to Vienna. We paid a visit to the Jarosinski & Vaugoin manufacture, which survived two centuries in the same place in the very heart of the city. We visited cafés and retro bars but we also ventured to discover the new, modern face of the Austrian capital. We also travelled to Miśnia to see ourselves how they create the most renowned porcelain in Europe.

Beware of Jolly Dogs

ustamagazyn_admin
One of the most popular contemporary Polish cartoonists, author of funny pictures, the favourite of celebrities, famous for his dark humour – Bolesław Chromry has so far been recognised for his graphic novels and other related forms. We love his “Pokrzywy” (ENG. “Nettles”) or “Elementarz Polski dla Polaka i Polki z Polski”, (ENG. “ABC for a Polish Man and a Polish Woman from Poland”). We are happy to announce that Damian Siemień, who is also co-operating now with USTA, has debuted as a writer.   His prose “Pozwólcie pieskom przyjść do mnie” (ENG.“Let the Little Dogs Come to Me”) tells the story of a meeting of three little dogs. Gizmo, Punio and Nikotynka unfortunately have no idea that their owners come from three different worlds. Unaware of the consequences of their carefree actions, the three jolly dogs lead to meetings that should never have happened.  The cute story turns into a bloodcurdling criminal intrigue. It is also a portrait of the generation of the big-city thirty-year-olds – both rich and poor, eccentric and common, but still, strikingly similar. Yet again, Bolesław Chromry proves that the truth is the funniest. Below we bring back the interview with the artist. A Human-link Brilliant and melancholic commentator of the lacklustre life in Poland, that is nowhere. Bolesław Chromry tells us what it’s like to love Emma Bunton, what he likes about autumn and how to seclude oneself in a massive old block of flats.

USTA IN THE SUMMERTIME!

Monika Brzywczy
We went with Gretkowska to Kutno, we travelled with Waligóra across the Gobi desert, with Ryciak we crossed the ocean without a ticket. With Chrobak, we headed for the unacknowledged countries and we toured Japan in a campervan with Wierzejski. Above all, though, we travelled in search of the meaning of our journeys. And on top of that, in the summer issue of USTA Magazine we prepared a guide to Warsaw – we present you a list of our top 30 places in the capital.
