With deep sorrow, we announce that, in light of the tragic event that occurred on May 7th at the University of Warsaw, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s edition of Miasteczko na Styku Kultur – Cultural Hot Spot 2025.
What has traditionally been a joyful celebration of diversity now gives way to silence — a silence filled with respect, reflection, and solidarity.
Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Małgorzata, as well as with Tomasz, the university security guard who was injured while performing a heroic act during this tragic incident. We stand with him and his loved ones, hoping for his full recovery.
We believe that the time for dialogue, music, and shared laughter will come again —
but today, we pause.
To honor. To reflect. To stand together.
With kind regards,
Organizers of Cultural Hot Spot
