Does a person need a mystery? What is Christmas all about and how do we find its meaning in times of excess? On the occasion of Christmas, we speak with dr Paweł Wróblewski – philosopher of religion, researcher of early Christian culture, who directs the activities of the UWr Institute of Philosophy and Centre for Prognostic Research on Religious Changes.

Christmas is a special time when the sacred and the profane are intertwined in one unique narrative. This special time has been reflected in literature, music, art and rituals for centuries. In Christian iconography, the scene of the Nativity of Jesus occupies a special and unique place. The exhibition Christmas in Special Collections presented on this occasion at BUWr invites you to travel through the mystical visions and imaginings of artists contained in the collection of old prints, musicals, manuscripts, prints and cartographic collections.

The researchers hope that the results of this project will contribute to the development of new devices which will allow for an effective combat with chemical pollution of the environment. A project in collaboration of University of Wrocław with Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań will be funded by NCN, as part of Opus contest an amount of PLN 2 245 044 was allocated for the project.
