“...El nostre campus és molt respectuós amb els animals. Ens encanten els animals. A l’entorn del campus, sempre pots trobar gats asseguts al costat dels alumnes mentre estudies. Sempre tenen menjar i es porten bé amb la gent.

DesignLab, connectat a Istanbul Kültür University, reuneix empreses, start-ups i professionals independents. És una plataforma de producció, col·laboració i desenvolupament. També és un lloc fantàstic per desenvolupar projectes a desenvolupar.

Melania Bobrowska és una estudiant ERASMUS de la Pedagocical University or Cracow que està estudiant Ceràmica durant aquest curs acadèmic a l'Escola d'Art Pau Gargallo.  El passat dijous 30 de novembre de 2023 va fer una presentació sobre Ceràmica a Polònia adreçada a estudiants i professorat del departament de Ceràmica de la nostra escola. Melania Bobrowska va presentar l’obra de  Justyna Smoleń, Aleksandra Liliput, Nina Paszkowski, Natalia Kopytko, Wojciech Ireneusz Sobczyk, Jad ceramika i Boleslawiec.

A continuació va mostrar  una selecció del seus projectes artístics a partir d’aquesta presentació:

“Over the past few months I have been exploring the theme of witchcraft in the modern world. It is a space for me to experiment and listen to the magical reality that intrigues me, which is often overlooked in the contemporary world. It gives me room to play with art. In my work I seek a connection with nature, I am interested in rituals, both the Slavic ones performed by our ancestors and the contemporary ones, our rituals of everyday life. Following in the footsteps of witches, I learn about the role of women in history, who have carried the burden of witches being burned at the stake for centuries. Patriarchy becomes a subject to which I take away the power. I create objects with shouting, whispering, violence and with tenderness. I am a first-year Master’s student of Art & Design at the Pedagogical University of Cracow. I majored in graphic design, but recently I have also been involved in installation and various kinds of action in space. During my studies, I have explored skills such as various printmaking techniques, painting, ceramics, glass processing and working in 2D programmes.”
