CRK Salka is a thriving Wrocław based collective active since 2006. Although this creative environment has been represented by such groups as Kurws, Ukryte Zalety Systemu, and Przepych, there are many more bands in the room. Some are still waiting for their moment, while others have disintegrated leaving almost no trace behind as their members stitch new constellations. In this space, one plays with sound in various personnel arrangements nested in a growing web of personal connection, reflecting the communal aspect of this collective work. “Pandemiczny przegląd zespołów salkowych” is a documentary film of a concert performed in autumn 2020. It captures the current moment in the life of our community, showcasing its representation today.
