Sławomir Sierakowski

Since 2015, he has written monthly columns for Project Syndicate, an international media organization, on European issues.

In January 2014 he wrote an article in The Guardian, "Welcome Ukraine into the EU and restore faith in the project", subtitled "granting Ukraine accession wouldn't just help Ukrainians, it could end pessimism in the union and build bridges to Russia."

Sierakowski collaborated (as co-writer and actor) in a film trilogy made by Israeli-Dutch visual artist Yael Bartana. Part I: "Mary Koszmary" ("Nightmares", 2008) premiered at the Pompidou Centre in Paris and shown in the top galleries in more than 20 countries (including The Jewish Museum, The Guggenheim Museum in NY, Tate Modern in London, AGO in Toronto, UCI in LA) and debated in media (including Gazeta Wyborcza, Haaretz, The New York Times.) Part II: "Mur i Wieża" ("Wall and Tower") was produced in 2009, and the Part III ("Assassination") represented Poland in the 2011 Venice Biennale.

In 2005 he was named president of the Stanislaw Brzozowski Association, which runs 5 cultural centers (Warsaw, Gdańsk, Łódź and Cieszyn, Kyiv) and 25 local centers in Poland, Ukraine and Russia. The Brzozowski Association also runs a publishing house, a magazine, and an internet newspaper.

In October 2003 he wrote "The Open Letter to the European Public Opinion" which confronted the position of the Polish government in support of the Constitutional Treaty for the EU and the federalist model of European integration. Signed by 250 leading intellectuals, the letter was published in Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita and other European newspapers. The Letter caused a large public debate which concluded in an official meeting between the Polish President, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of European Affairs and a representation of the signatories.

Since 2002 he is the founder and editor-in-chief of Krytyka Polityczna (The Political Critique) magazine and the Publishing House of the Political Critique, head of The Brave New World– the largest Polish independent cultural centre and think tank in Warsaw – a place that serves as a forum for discussion, art presentations and social and political projects (situated in the centre of Warsaw at ulica Nowy Świat 63).
