The 9th of September 2014 – the scene of The Year of Jan Gehl is being entered by the ‘Little Academy of Design’ (Mała Akademia Designu) – an educational project created by Paulina Zarębska-Denysiuk and Anna Wojewódka, as a part of actions of Lublin Society of Encouragment of Fine Arts ‘Zachęta’. The Accademy was started with an article by Małgorzata Szlachetka in Kurier Lubelski newspaper, with such an up to date topic of quality (or the lack of it) of public spaces, which affects the presence (or absence) of residents and ultimately the economic success (or failure) of these places.

Mosaics are also ‘for people’ :-)

 

The 6th of September 2014 – mosaic-making workshops, as a part of Mała Akademia Designu (Little Academy of Desgin). Activities that could take place on art lessons gain a special meaning in city enviroment, especially on Słowacki housing estate, which was originally filled with various mosaics. This becomes a fun of playing with public art and a lesson of recognizing beaty surrounding us.
