Silver Evening – concert by the band Suchy Pion

8 May, 9:30 PM

The first day of the Opening Weekend will conclude with a performance by Suchy Pion – an energetic group combining music with performance art. The band is known for its punk expression, sharp and ironic commentary on everyday life, and a surprisingly sincere, almost therapeutic message. Their punk rock, full of distance to the world, positive energy, and intense emotions, combined with dynamic stage choreography, can move even the most unshakable audience members.

Free admission!

Symposium “Boundaries of Global Art”

9 May, 11:00 AM

Hotel Qubus, 2 Skarbowa Street, Legnica

During the May Opening Weekend of the Festival, we will meet to listen to artists presenting their works at the exhibitions and to discuss the condition of contemporary jewellery and design. The Legnica SILVER Festival could not exist without the traditional popular-science symposium “Boundaries of Global Art,” which brings together the worlds of academia, design, and culture. The topics of the talks and presentations will be—as always—diverse, but the common threads will remain jewellery and the theme of this year’s International Jewellery Competition: EVERY BODY.

Free admission!
