Discover Alicja Rogalska


Friday 17 August / 10am - 4pm / Free


A fun, creative, drop-in session suitable for ages 4+ and their families.


 


These artist-led workshops provide you with an opportunity to contribute to a collaborative artwork, which will be completed by the end of the drop-in session. In the process you will enjoy finding out about an individual artist and their work.


 


During this idea-driven workshop, you will be reflecting on the history of Milton Keynes and where the world is heading today, and you will help create a utopian model of a future town using various materials and techniques, from drawing to sculpture and collage.


 


Alicja Rogalska's work explores themes such as culture, politics and the economy, using sculpture, photography, installation and video, often focusing on a specific location.  In the process she collaborates with a wide range of people, from electroacoustic composers and folk singers to mathematicians.  Alicja, who graduated from Goldsmiths College, London with a Masters in Fine Art, has received awards from both the European Cultural Foundation and Arts Council England, and has exhibited internationally.  As an artist educator Alicia has worked with Tate Britain, Towner Contemporary Art Gallery aand Modern Art Oxford and Creative Partnerships, amongst others.
