For both countries these events are very important and build their own history and identity. Nowadays, in European countries, the concept of freedom expands its meaning. Young people living in the 21st century understand the meaning of freedom differently – they are born in free countries, they are part of a united Europe, they have access to free media, ease of communication and mobility, the possibility of creative expression and are constantly active on social platforms. Can the young people appreciate the concept of freedom? Are we really free in the age of advanced technology? This questions will be asked to the participants of the workshops – students of both universities. From literally understood freedom, we move to the reflection of freedom in other aspects of the life of a prosperous society, thus in fine arts and design. Together, we want to reflect on the freedom of the artist or a designer in the times of consumerism and corruption with various conditions from political to religious. What risks do the celebration of freedom in the spirit of unbalanced, fast design bring to the future? Can an artist have an impact on the Freedom of future generations? //PURPOSE OF WORKSHOPS: / Presentation of artistic achievements and many years of design traditions of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. / Exchange of artistic experiences of both universities, mutual learning of working methods, establishing relationships between Polish and Greek students. / Artistic work and interpretation of the assumed topic. Presentation of the work carried out during the workshops.
