'The moment when fabric became my tool' – Małgorzata Mirga-Tas | Tate
Polish Romani artist and activist Małgorzata Mirga-Tas invited us into her studio to watch the creation of her vivid textile collages.
Mirga-Tas makes artwork using materials and fabrics that are mainly gathered from family and friends. Her visual storytelling comes from a feminist perspective and challenges stereotypical representations of Roma people.
She also re-imagines artworks across the centuries that have presented Roma identity in negative ways and transforms them into vibrant images imbued with strength and dignity.
