Interview with the artist Malgorzata Mirga Tas in Autostrada Biennale 2021

Video documentary of the work of Malgorzata Mirga-Tas “Herstories 2019-21”
Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (Gosia Mirga) is a Romani visual artist from Poland who, together with Romani activist Edis Galushi (Eddy Galjusi) and members of the Prizren Romani community, covered a house with a series of portraits of extraordinary Romani women, both local and international. Mirga-Tas has been compiling an effective archive of Romani herstories. Many of the fabrics she uses in her work are taken directly from the wardrobes of the women depicted, and consist of bits of skirts, scarves, or shirts sewn onto curtains, drapes, bedclothes, or rags. The material employed literally carries history. The curtains become the underlying architecture of the works and, at the same time, the visual basis for the creation of feminist narratives.
The third Autostrada Biennale was curated by: Övül Ö. Durmusoglu and Joanna Warsza.
The artwork was supported by: European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture - ERIAC
And the video is supported by: UNDP Kosovo and UN Kosovo Team.
