Małgorzata Mirga-Tas and Sráč Sam | Companion

The exhibition presents a dialogue between two distinctive female artistic voices — the Polish Roma visual artist Małgorzata Mirga-Tas and the Czech artist Sráč Sam. Both work with textiles as a medium of memory, identity, and female experience, yet from different artistic and cultural positions, and in a completely unique way for this exhibition.

While Małgorzata Mirga-Tas focuses her work on the Roma community and its visual and narrative representation, Sráč Sam works in the context of this exhibition with an architectural installation, where textiles appear minimally in this situation, only with the everyday bearer of meaning—sewn clothing. At the same time, it demonstrates on a significant scale, in the form of a structure, the interconnectedness of individual elements of the entire composition, and also that a background for the possibility of resting is a condition for creating content and relationships.
