Jury
Przemek Pasek
Born in 1972. Fascinated with water since childhood. Since 2005 he’s been the head of the Ja Wisła (Me the Vistula) foundation, based in Warsaw’s Czerniakow Port. He started with gigs at the Herbatnik barge, then he opened Kino Most – screenings of 16 mm films under the Lazienkowski Bridge. Next he initiated cleaning of the river banks and bike trips along the river, which, with the support of the voivodship government, take place in the whole region. Finally he built the first boat, Stwora (Creature), in which, during cruises, he told about the history of Czerniakow Port, Solec district and the Steamboat Factory. His foundation promotes pre-war open-air dancing traditions. At schools he taught about rivers’ cultural heritage, then he organized cruises on the Vistula. With the Minister of Culture’s support, the foundation built the Basonia, a traditional ferry. He fights for accommodating the Vistula banks and reclaiming the river for the city.
