The ICC Gallery will present a wide selection of the artist’s works from 2019-2022, including the internationally acclaimed series ‘Exit from Egypt’ and a series of large-format textiles titled ‘Herstorie’. It will also present new works that focus on the history of Nowa Huta’s Roma and Roma memory.<\/p>\n
The first part of the exhibition, titled ‘Atlas’, features works by various, less and more well-known authors, from different collections, made in a variety of techniques, which illustrate the stereotypical perception of the Roma.<\/p>\n
In the following rooms, visitors will be able to see works by Ma\u0142gorzata Mirga-Tas, which are an attempt to disenchant imposed images, as well as a form of personal and collective self-presentation. They are divided into five groups ‘Newo Rom – newo drom’ (New man\/new Rom – new way), ‘O fotografis’ (Photographer), ‘Siukar Manusia’ (Good\/great people), Giantesses’ and ‘Exit from Egypt’. The artist addresses the complex Roma and Polish identity, the decolonisation of Roma material cultural heritage and the Holocaust of the Roma.<\/p>\n
According to the exhibition information, an important source of inspiration for Ma\u0142gorzata Mirga-Tas are Roma women, who are often made the protagonists of her works. They are members of her family, her closest female co-workers, artist friends and activists – people of merit to the Roma community. This original minority feminism aims to deconstruct the stereotypical image of Roma women, perpetuated for centuries in visual culture.<\/p>\n
