Next Saturday, October 5, the eight edition of the Niech Żyje Papier event will take place; we’re going to celebrate going back to our desks! As usual, the event hall will host the crème de la crème of Polish creators, manufacturers and distributors of paper goods and stationery supplies. The fair will host lectures and discussion panels, all accompanied by art and publishers exhibiting their work. The attractions will include a workshop on how to organise your workspace held by Bożena Kowalkowska, and a conversation between the author of the second part of the How Do They Work? book and her subjects of interest – Agata Bogacka and Malwina Konopacka.
