Is the global world entering a phase of fragmentation into smaller, more closely interconnected territories? During the discussion, we will examine the concept of a new Middle Ages as a framework for describing a reality shaped by multiple crises, the weakening of global supply chains, and the growing importance of local self-sufficiency. In today’s world, the city and its surroundings are once again becoming a political territory: an area where disputes over access to basic resources and living conditions are resolved.
 
The discussion will focus on Warsaw and the question of how to build its food sovereignty by combining local resources, agricultural infrastructure, traditional forms of organization, and modern technologies. Participants in the discussion will include anthropologist Ewa Smuk-Stratenwerth, futurist and new technologies expert Grzegorz Lewicki, and political scientist Michał Kuź. The discussion will be moderated by sociologist Joanna Erbel, co-curator of this year’s edition of the Warsaw Under Construction festival.
