The remembrance of the 'W' Hour at 5 pm on the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising outbreak and its celebration are today an integral part of Warsaw's identity - in the latest episode of the series 'Intangible Warsaw', Jerzy S. Majewski looks at the traditions surrounding the commemoration of the Warsaw Uprising outbreak.
The film is part of a series of materials dedicated to the capital's intangible heritage, in which we try to capture intergenerationally transmitted practices, traditions and customs that constitute Warsaw's identity and shape its inhabitants' relationship with the city. The starting point for the series is the report ‘Intangible Warsaw: Traditions, customs, practices in a co-city'.
'Intangible Warsaw: Traditions, customs, practices in a co-city' is the first report dedicated to the capital's intangible heritage. The study combines the ideas contained in the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage with the guidelines of the latest cultural policy of the City of Warsaw from 2020. Both of these documents emphasise interaction, community, cooperation and co-creation, as well as - contemporaneity. Indeed, intangible heritage is a way of creating culture that uses the past to build social links in the present that reach into the future.
