We decided to celebrate World Collage Day by organising a workshop in Warsaw. We took advantage of the invitation from the z10.studio art studio located in Praga-Północ. The author of this year’s official WORLD COLLAGE DAY poster, Anthony D. Kelly, came to Warsaw so we had to combine our forces!
Wonder is a complex emotion coming from experiences of beauty, connection, natural phenomena, or through being witness to the incredible capacities, courage or talents of other human beings. It would have been the emotion that Nicolaus Copernicus first felt when he looked up at the night sky and realized that he was small, but connected to everything he saw. Wonder helps us to connect with each other, to find meaning in the world around us and the art of Collage helps us do the same.
