The Metamorphosis Album – A Meeting of Past and Imagination
Open workshop in English for adults
Miejsce Projektów Zachęty
free admission, registration required
This workshop, inspired by Katarzyna Depta-Garapich’s exhibition, invites participants to merge imagination with their own family history by creating an artistic album in the form of an art book. Using old photographs—either personal family images or materials provided by the facilitator—participants will experiment with color, drawing, and collage, “wilding” the figures and integrating elements of nature.
The aim is to explore the process of metamorphosis, to reconnect the human figure with the natural world, and to reinterpret the past in a creative, transformative way.

04.10.2025 – 04.01.2026Katarzyna Depta-Garapich. ZdziczałaNajnowszy film Katarzyny Depty-Garapich przygotowany na wystawę w Miejscu Projektów Zachęty nosi tytuł Zdziczała — tak jak wystawa i prezentowane na niej nowe prace. Autorka zdaje się mówić o potędze natury, w której pozycja człowieka, zwierzęcia i rośliny jest równa, a transformacja międzygatunkowa w pełni możliwa; wskazuje na „dziką” stronę człowieka, jego jedność z przyrodą.
