08. Juni 2024 – 16. Februar 2025

This is not the end of the road ist die erste museale Einzelpräsentation von Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (Zakopane, 1978) in den Niederlanden, in der auch neue Arbeiten zu sehen sein werden. Die international anerkannte polnische Künstlerin und Aktivistin gehört zu den Roma - der größten und wohl am meisten diskriminierten und missverstandenen ethnischen Minderheit in Europa. Die Ausstellung umfasst zahlreiche textile Arbeiten aus verschiedenen Perioden ihrer künstlerischen Laufbahn, darunter die spektakuläre Serie Re-enchanting the World, mit der sie 2022 auf der Biennale in Venedig international für Furore sorgte.

Bonnefanten Musuem I Małgorzata Mirga-Tas: This is not the end of the road

June 08, 2024 – February 16, 2025

This is not the end of the road is the first solo museum presentation of Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (Zakopane, 1978) in the Netherlands, in which new works will also be on display. The internationally recognised Polish artist and activist belongs to the Roma - the largest and probably most discriminated against and misunderstood ethnic minority in Europe. The exhibition includes numerous textile works from various periods of her artistic career, including the spectacular series Re-enchanting the World, which caused an international sensation at the Venice Biennale in 2022.
