"Ghost Lace Drawing Workshop" and Excursion for Children

In this workshop, we drew ghost lace with artist Anna Malicka, inspired by her work in the exhibition, and thought about different alternative models of friendship.

Anna Malicka is a multimedia artist working mainly with textiles, drawings on paper and audiovisual content. Her work is often inspired by abstraction, various handicrafts, everyday aesthetics and ideas of assemblages, which she uses to construct fragments of imaginary space. Anna Malicka is part of kuš! comics - an international comics publishing house based in Riga, but, as with ghosts, sometimes people are unsure of its existence.

Survival Kit 14 Education programme was supported by VV Foundation, special thanks to Vita Liberte.
