About


Started as a niche club event in 2017 in Kraków, Poland, Nadmiar developed into 6-days experimental music & visual art festival. Each edition is a response to a current socio-political issue. The main goal of the project is to create a social situation – a temporary solidarity platform for social action inspired by Gayatri Spivak's strategic essentialism concept. To achieve this, Nadmiar approaches academic topics in a non-academic way and vice versa in a complex form of a festival. The 2019 edition titled Revision was dedicated to post-Anthropocene imaginaries. The programme contains a six-day-long festival included: exhibitions, workshops, discussion panels, live acts and DJ sets as a result of collaboration with over 40 Polish artists, and local galleries.

It’s time every Contemporary Dandy face up the mirror and think about the fact of how much water has been used to produce this extravagant silky scarf.
