In the current issue of the Polish-English “Herito” magazine various facets of the marriage of culture and politics are investigated by Anda Rottenberg, Ekaterina Andreeva, Ivan Čolović, Janusz Sepioł, and Bożena Gierat-Bieroń. In two articles, the current state of affairs in Hungary and Ukraine is shrewdly addressed by Katarzyna Jagodzińska’s and Żanna Komar’s discussions of the so-called “museum crises”.
Moreover, in the current issue: Joanna Sanetra-Szeliga writes about the European Capital of Culture Maribor 2012 and talks to Suzana Žilič Fišer and Mitja Čander, the creators of the city’s programme; Joan Roca i Albert introduces the Barcelona City History Museum to the readers of “Herito”; Drago Jančar addresses Ivo Andrić’s political in-correctness; Anna Saciuk-Gąsowska, Zoltán Gyalókay, Jiří Fajt, Wojciech Wilczyk, and Beata Nykiel share their impressions on new Central European exhibitions and books.
