OSK PhD Community Day | Deadline registration 3 December

OSK PhD Community Day
Date and Time: 5 December 2024, 11:15-15:00
Place: Maastricht

Join the OSK PhD Community to visit the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands of Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (Zakopane, 1978), at Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht. Mirga-Tas’ work challenges the dominant stereotypical images of the Roma, and at the centre of the exhibition, titled This is not the end of the road, stands the series Re-enchanting the World she made for the Venice Biennale.

About the artist: 

Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (Zakopane, 1978) is a Polish artist and activist who belongs to the Roma culture; an originally nomadic people who are spread over large parts of the world. Mirga-Tas works in various media, but is renowned mainly for her large-scale textile works, in which she celebrates the Roma identity from a feminist perspective, stripping it of prejudices. Her career has really taken off in recent years, culminating in her contribution to the Polish pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2022.

 

The tour will be followed by a lunch in Maastricht. More information to follow! 

The OSK will cover the lunch and reimburse travel costs for participating OSK members!
