Alžběta Jozefy: Creative workshop Safer Spaces - Outside and Inside

Alžběta Jozefy will present work with sand and acrylic paints in a creative workshop suitable for adults and children aged 10 and above.

The workshop invites participants to discover the creative potential of sand as a natural material. Using locally collected sand, they will be invited to create their own images by gluing grains onto a prepared surface such as a wooden board, canvas, or heavy paper. Sand can be applied in layers, patterns, or free compositions, creating textures that reflect both fragility and permanence. Each participant may decide whether to create an abstract field, a symbolic threshold, or a personal motif inspired by the desert landscape.This process emphasizes the tension between ephemeral material and last­ing form - how grains of sand, usually scattered and unstable, can be transformed into a collective mosaic of individual visions.

Alžběta is engaged in painting, sculpture, installation and performance. She is interested in the surface of landscapes and natural formations and the layers beneath things: "Art, for me, is a way of listening - to the world, to myself, and to what has not yet appeared."

 "I perceive the desert landscape as an invitation to enter an inner space, a place of contemplation. In such a landscape, where ori­entation becomes nearly impossible, it is precisely there that a starting point - a pivot - can be defined, from which a new order or structure may emerge. Yet the step toward it must be conscious and humble - especially when we find ourselves in the presence of other people or other forms of life. Boundaries can delineate a space where different approaches to experiencing the world may meet, be revealed, and shared - and, above all, relate to what remains in its deepest essence: to moments that are universally human."
