Spółdzielnia Krzak / Krzak Collective

Spółdzielnia “Krzak” (Krzak Collective) Spółdzielnia “Krzak” (Krzak Collective) is a collective based in Warsaw, formed amidst the uncertainty of the future, triggered by current climate and ecological crises. Growing from spontaneous gardening, we focus on strategies for translating environmental care into arts and culture, as well as into everyday practices of multispecies collaboration. Working within the physical space of a garden—and until recently, a small house at Osiedle Jazdów, a green enclave in the city center—Krzak was, for a couple of years, a platform for participation, commoning and exchange through the activities around it. Krzak has organized exhibitions, workshops, discussions, concerts, fundraisers, and protests, collaborating with other initiatives, artists, and activists to create engagement with the climate movement while always staying grounded in the endless vitality of repurposed materials, trust in uncertainty and practices of friendship and care. Nowadays, Krzak has a more nomadic structure, not resigning from attachment to the garden, but focusing more on collaboration despite the physical distance. Krzak is a community fostered by shared efforts, idea flows and many sunny days spent digging, weeding, composting and tomato picking, as well as more cloudy days on group video calls and messaging.
