Best debuts of Satyrykon 2017. Anna Pałosz
Let’s imagine an amazing creature who is waiting for a delayed bus in deadly freeze, and to warm her up is graving a map of Poland in snow… It seems that only this bus can give us a clue about this scene, that it didn’t take place in a patriotic fever during some of the

JASIEK ZBORUCKI & Friends
Jasiek Zborucki is an individual who can appreciate the beauty of the Polish speech on daily basis, who eagerly studies its nuances and who’s this beauty and linguistic correctness indefatigable protector. He’s probably well known to all his workmates as an unbearable purist who points out, without pleasure but pleasantly, their real and alleged errors.

Why have I become a satirist?
Although they miss one common denominator so much, they’ve come together to act cooperatively from time to time. Claiming they did it just for that, would probably be too much malice.

Chopin and Pins

Poster speaks for me
Interview with Anna Pałosz Satyrykon: Have you chosen Katowice academy due to its poster design traditions, or has it been at the academy that you have taken an interest in poster? Anna Pałosz: Poster has always been close to me, the means it uses (mental shortcut, synthesis) to be exact. The Poster Design Workshop seemed

What will jump out of the hat?
Interview with Natalia Stachura, the author of Satyrykon 2017 poster Satyrykon: It’s hard not to notice that Your jolly cactus, the character from the Satyrykon 2017 poster is running in opposite direction than our Satyrykon knave, Filip – the symbol, the logo and the monument (Zygmunt Januszawski’s design). Is it running to fall into his
