Małgorzata Mirga-Tas' first solo exhibition in Denmark presents works that challenge hierarchies and bring overlooked stories to the fore. Using fabric, embroidery, and recycled materials, Małgorzata Mirga-Tas weaves poetry and politics into monumental works. Her textile collages explore themes of community, migration, cultural heritage, and women’s lives—perspectives that are both deeply personal and collective.
The exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg is Mirga-Tas’s first solo show in Denmark and features both existing and new works created specifically for the exhibition. It is rooted in Roma culture, of which she herself is a part. Her works challenge artistic hierarchies and make space for narratives that are often overlooked in official art history. Through her art, she insists on recognizing Roma people as active bearers of culture and history, with a proud past and a vibrant present.
In 2022, she represented Poland at the 59th Venice Biennale, becoming the first Roma artist ever to represent a country there. Since then, she has been regarded as one of Europe’s most significant contemporary artists.
