WORKSHOPS
“I see workshops as a place for exchange and experimentation. I focus on the creative process, inviting participants to discover and follow their creativity. As an artist, I accompany them in translating an idea onto paper or into space. In parallel with individual practice, I also offer collaborative formats, for example through the realisation of large-format works or installations created in a group. This approach is based on the idea that cultural education is one of the foundations of a democratic society and can be experienced in a playful way.” Elma Riza
