The culture in the Silesian province
The Silesian Province is a multicultural area formed by inhabitants of Polish, German, Czech and Jewish origin. The main feature of this region is differentiation of its major cultural areas: the Upper - Silesia, Zagłebie (the Basin), the Silesian Beskidy and the Żywiec Beskidy and Częstochowa region.
The examples are small wooden churches of unique construction found in three regions in Poland but in the Silesian Province there are more of them than in entire Europe. There are also monuments of industrial culture such as factory complexes in Giszowiec, Nikiszowiec, Sosnowiec and underground excavations in Tarnowskie Góry, Zabrze and Rybnik. The number of technological monuments is estimated at several thousands. In addition there are monuments of habitable architecture (e.g. 38 urban matches, the Secession of Bytom) and landscape arrangements (among them 98 parks). Borders which crossed this region were changed many times but they left distinctive military architecture monuments ranging from fortified castles situated in the Kraków - Częstochowa Upland to the Silesian fortified region dated in the 1930s.
The "Technology monuments route in the Silesian Province" waits for all interested parties; there are old mines, steelworks, power stations and factories on the route which are the important part of history and industrial traditions of the region. Saved from pulling down or devastation these monuments of industrial heritage are tourist attractions of the region. Additionally wooden churches signed on the "Wooden architecture route" and the "Military architecture route" which is still being elaborated, are also worth visiting.
After some years of stagnation caused by changes in the economy steadily we can observe increase of activity among professional and amateur artistic circles. The sign of it is the number of new artistic groups, societies and funds and the rich offer of cultural institutions. Well known not only in the country are artists who are connected with the Academy of Music and the Academy of Fine Arts like Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Wojciech Kilar, Krystian Zimerman, Eugeniusz Knapik, Tadeusz Grabowski and Roman Kalarus. The significant part plays the group of artists connected with film and theatre like film directors Kazimierz Kutz and Lech Majewski. Young artists also have something to add especially Magda Piekorz - film director and Wojciech Kuczok - novelist.
The Silesian Province is a place of many important international and nationwide events. There is: Grzegorz Fietelberg International Competition for Conductors and the Nationwide Festival of Directing Art "Interpretacje" (Interpretations) in Katowice, the International Festival of Sacred Music "Gaude Mater" in Częstochowa, the Annual International Contemporary Dance Conference and Performance Festival in Bytom, the International Festival of Puppetry Art, the Festival of Polish Composers and the Biennale "Bielska Jesień" (Autumn in Bielsko) in Bielsko-Biała, the Beskidy Highlanders' Week of Culture in the Beskidy Mountains and the Upper-Silesian Art Festival in Upper-Silesia.
