The Whitworth is proud to present the work of celebrated Roma-Polish artist Malgorzata Mirga-Tas. Mirga-Tas creates narrative-rich works using textiles and fabric, producing vibrant large-scale panels that transform perceptions of Romany culture and history. The exhibition will offer an opportunity to consider the Whitworth’s textile collection in a new and nomadic-centric light while honouring the lives of stateless communities. Mirga-Tas was selected to represent Poland at the 2022 Venice Biennale, the first-ever Roma artist to be represented in a national pavilion in the Biennale’s history.
Małgorzata Mirga-Tas is organised by the Whitworth, The University of Manchester, in collaboration with Tate St Ives.
