Ulica Wszystkich Świętych

Ulica Wszystkich Świętych (ISSN 1732-0941) is a Polish monthly magazine dedicated to mail art, literature, and cultural commentary. It was first published in December 1989, with its first three editions (1989–1990) appearing as typical art-zines. After the reactivation of the Fluxus group that edited the magazine ("Double Travel"), issue number 4 was released in February 2000. From July 2004, the publisher has been RegioPolis. The magazine reached its 100th issue in April 2008. Beyond its traditional print format, it has occasionally been released as music CDs or DVDs with documentary films. The editorial core has consistently included Lech L. Przychodzki and Edward "Lu" Soroka, joined by Marian Karaś from 2000. Due to collaboration with numerous creators and publicists from Poland, the magazine quickly outgrew its strictly artistic monthly role. Regionalists from Kashubia, Silesia, and the projected Vilnius Autonomy in Lithuania were among the first to cooperate. They were followed by academics, sometimes eminent figures such as botanist Prof. Dominik Fijałkowski and cultural philosopher Prof. Stefan Symotiuk. The magazine has fostered intergenerational dialogue, debuting young authors such as Aldona Kopkiewicz, Katarzyna Piotrowska, and Oskar Szwabowski alongside established writers. Translators including Ryszard Borkowski, Piotr Madej (d. 7 May 2008), Jan Stanisław, and Vanda Zakrzewska have brought works by recognized authors (e.g., Russian bard V. Vysotsky, R. Brautigan) and new voices (American poets Mark Sonnenfeld, David Stone) to Polish readers. Literary criticism is mainly handled by Dr. Wojciech Kajtoch (Jagiellonian University) and Agnieszka Brytan. Environmental protection was promoted by Marek Kłuciński (d. 2004), now by Krzysztof Wojciechowski from the Catholic University of Lublin; neo-economics by Krzysztof Lewandowski. The magazine addresses difficult topics: communist camps for the Silesian population after 1945 (Dr. Edwald S. Pollok, Henryk Sporoń), the situation in Belarus (documentary director Oleg Klejmionow, Pauluk Kanawalczyk, editor-in-chief of the opposition Minsk "Naviny"); national minorities in Spain and Greece (Bartłomiej Świderek). Humanistic reflection has been presented by Alfred Bartylla-Blanke, Stefan Symotiuk, and Jacek Zalewski; political thought by the Radczenko brothers, Edward "Lu" Soroka, and Ryszard Tomczyk; satire by Michał Graczyk and Marian Karaś. As the first in Poland, from issue 1 (15) in January 2001, "Ulica..." adopted Ryosuke Cohen's copyleft principle, allowing any reprint of its own texts, translations, and graphic materials, based on the belief that human thought should spread without obstacles. In addition to its mailing list (through which the paper version reaches figures such as Ryosuke Cohen, Milada Mojsejová, and Zygmunt Bauman), the magazine is available online in PDF. In January 2007, the first poetry volume signed by Ulica... appeared online: "Cień Freuda" by Oskar Szwabowski; in July, "Dziecko maluje śmierć" by Katarzyna Piotrowska; in December, a volume of aphorisms and epigrams by Marian Karaś, "Zamyślenia z myślenia"; and in January 2008, a collection of satirical drawings by Andrzej Kot, "Gdzie się człek nie ruszy, szuka kociej duszy". The editor-in-chief is Lech L. Przychodzki from Lublin; his deputy is translator, illustrator, and poet Vanda Zakrzewska from Wałbrzych (lately in China). Regular illustrators of Ulica... and books by its circle are Jerzy Jakubów and Andrzej Kot.

Ulica Wszystkich Świętych was founded in December 1989 as a mail art monthly. Its first three editions (1989–1990) were typical art-zines. After the reactivation of the Fluxus group that edited the magazine ("Double Travel"), issue number 4 appeared in February 2000. From July 2004, the publisher became RegioPolis. The magazine reached its 100th issue in April 2008. Over time, it expanded beyond purely artistic content to include regionalist, academic, literary, and socio-political themes. It was the first Polish publication to adopt Ryosuke Cohen's copyleft principle, starting from issue 1 (15) in January 2001. In January 2007, it began publishing poetry volumes online, followed by further books in July and December 2007 and January 2008. The editorial team has remained stable, with Lech L. Przychodzki as editor-in-chief and Vanda Zakrzewska as deputy.
