The collage workshop inspired by the music of the East of Culture – Different Sounds festival is an opportunity to combine listening with creating and let your imagination take the lead.

Participants will begin the session by learning the basics of collage through a series of short practical exercises designed to familiarize them with the materials, form, and principles of visual composition. In the second part of the workshop, everyone will create their own intuitive artwork based on the emotions and associations evoked by selected tracks from artists performing at this year’s festival.

The workshop will provide a space for free expression, experimentation, and the discovery of new means of artistic expression.

Led by Ola Marzęta and Ania Stąporek
