Festiwal Przemiany 2025, themed 'Empathy: For the naive or the brave?', is a three-day festival featuring free events that explore empathy from scientific, evolutionary, AI, and ecological perspectives. Visitors can expect interactive exhibits, debates, artist talks, and unique experiences like listening to coral sounds or viewing robot swarms.
The Copernicus Science Centre invites you to Festiwal Przemiany 2025, a three-day event centered around the theme 'Empathy: For the naive or the brave?'. This edition delves into the concept of empathy from a wide array of perspectives, including neuroscience, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, and ecology. The festival aims to foster a deeper understanding of our connection not only with fellow humans but also with entire ecosystems, addressing the challenges of the future.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with diverse and innovative exhibits, such as listening to the sounds of corals and extinct bird species, observing collaborative robot swarms, and interacting with a guerrilla beehive for homeless bees. Participants are encouraged to bring their houseplants for an 'EKG' at a plant clinic and use immersive technologies to experience the world through another person's eyes. The festival will also feature a special exhibition, experimental stations, debates and meetings with artists and scientists, a 'Living Library' where visitors can borrow books (people) to learn from, a café, and music performances under the stars, all designed to explore various manifestations of empathy.
