Magdalena Bubík returns to her hometown to see it with fresh eyes – as both a researcher and someone who has always lived on the border. In this conversation, she talks about her fascination with the Bridge of Friendship, the lingering ghosts of history in Cieszyn, and how academic research became a path to understanding her own identity.

This is not just a story about the past, but about how the past still shapes the present – through memory, displacement, and life between cultures.
