Project context
A curated educational gathering hosted at a discreet Warsaw rooftop, designed as an immersive knowledge platform exploring cannabis through historical, socio-economic and future-oriented lenses.
Rather than focusing on recreational narratives, the project positioned cannabis as a multifaceted resource situated at the intersection of regenerative agriculture, alternative medicine, material innovation and emerging green economies.
The event format combined structured knowledge transfer with performative and participatory elements, creating a space for critical reflection and informed dialogue.
Strategic objective
This project was conceived as a cultural and educational intervention with following goals:
Narrative reframing: actively dismantling reductive stereotypes by introducing a more complex, informed and future-facing discourse around cannabis.
Knowledge activation: translating historical research and market insights into accessible formats that empowered participants to engage with the topic through evidence rather than stigma.
Community building: cultivating a temporary but meaningful community of individuals interested in alternative economic models, plant intelligence and regenerative systems.
Format & methodology
The evening followed a carefully designed narrative integrating:
☀︎ Contextual presentation on the cultural history of cannabis
☀︎ Mapping of current and emerging global markets
☀︎ Speculative perspectives on its future role in sustainable industries
☀︎ Interactive quiz activating collective knowledge
☀︎ Shared ritual as a performative closure
The event successfully delivered comprehensive information about cannabis’s historical significance and market potential.
The interactive format, including a knowledge quiz and shared experience, created meaningful engagement with the educational content while building community among participants with shared interests in regenerative agriculture and emerging markets.
Main reflection
The project confirmed that sensitive or controversial topics require carefully designed environments to support honest and informed engagement.
The atmospheric intimacy of the secret location, shaped by legal constraints, paradoxically enhanced the depth of discourse, fostering a sense of collective responsibility and care.
The symbolic gesture of sharing the quiz prize: a half-metre joint, marked a subtle yet powerful shift from individual competition to collective ritual, echoing the broader transition from extractive narratives to shared stewardship.
