The discussion will be moderated by Bartosz Zaj膮c who is an activist of the Otwarte Klatki Association, coordinator of the Social Coalition 鈥淪top Industrial Farms鈥. For over a year, as part of the undercover project 鈥淏ez s艂o艅ca鈥, he has documented the conditions on Polish farms. The collected material was included in the collective publication "HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene" and in numerous campaigns of pro-animal organisations.

The discussion "Revolution or Evolution?..." will cover such topics as:

  • plant-based collective nutrition 鈥 including the health and ecological benefits that this solution brings 鈥 and its place in the sustainable development strategy;
  • ethical and scientific aspects of the use of animals in research and alternatives to animal testing, such as in vitro methods, computer modelling or organ-on-chip.

Those taking part in the discussion will look at the role of education in shaping knowledge about interspecies relationships. They will analyse the costs, methods of implementation and long-term effects of introducing plant-based nutrition and abandoning animal testing.

The panel discussion is an event accompanying the exhibition "HIDDEN 鈥 Animals in the Anthropocene", which can be seen at the university gallery Wozownia at the Biedermann鈥檚 Palace until 20 October of the current year.
