Gegaloma in our homes — Book premiere and meeting with Viktor Stribog

On Sunday, October 11 at 17:00 we invite you to the CSW Laboratory for the Warsaw premiere of the book “Gęgaloma in our homes”. The event will be accompanied by a conversation with the author, Viktor Stribog, led by Olga Drenda.

Wiktor Stribog, creator of the cult and mysterious “Land of Mushrooms TV”, visual artist and composer, makes his debut as a writer. “Gegalooma in our homes” is a guide on how to live in a world dominated by the Goose. That is, in a better world, a world that we humans may not deserve. It is a book for children, young people, adults and seniors, which combines surrealism, dystopia about dictatorship and the lightness and severity of children's books from the period of the Polish People's Republic. A sweet story about society, tradition, history and education for people whose imagination knows no bounds.
