People with vision loss have difficulty in differentiating colors that do not contrast. These yellow strips pasted on dark glass provide a contrast easily perceived by everyone. We've started this application in the University Center, our University's most frequently visited building, and it will be extended to other buildings. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to University Operations Unit for the implementation.

It is often said that Cracow Academy of Arts is an enclave of traditional form, one of the last bastions of classical art in central Europe. Is it even possible to be classical and young at the same time? As a young artists we take as a duty not to agree with everything they teach us. Do not take us wrong- we are not a rebelled, sometimes we are just suspicious. We have our right to question the spirit of our academy. This is how our work is created. Some people say it is immature, other say it is pure.

Remember all that happened at the university last year?  Check out the Sabancı University 2010 Almanac for a refresher. Here are some memorable events:
