Julia Zaręba (b.1999)- painter and multidisciplinary artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź

In my work, I focus on general experiences that each of us can experience. I do not stick to one language of expression. Depending on the needs of the project, I experiment with techniques, media and substrates on which I create. I find fulfillment in painting as well as photography, fabric or printmaking.

Zuzanna Formella - a native of Pomerania, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz in the fields of jewelry design and textile and interior styling. She creates in various areas of art - from artistic textiles and collage, through handmade paper, to sculptural activities in ceramics. Her work explores the theme of recycling and working with natural materials, using vegetable dyes and objects found in nature. She is interested in the dialogue between matter and space, as well as the idea of giving new life to seemingly unnecessary objects. She has participated in numerous exhibitions organized on behalf of the university, and was awarded a distinction by the Museum of Art in Lodz in the 41st Wladyslaw Strzeminski Competition.

My creative process is guided by intuition and attention to materials. I am inspired by found objects and natural materials, which I combine in non-obvious ways, looking for new meanings and forms. I like to work with color - in an increasingly gray world I treat it as a carrier of emotions and a way to bring positive energy. Creating for me is a dialogue with nature and an attempt to find beauty in what is fragile, forgotten and seemingly unattractive

Natasza Pleśniak (b. 2000) illustrator, textile artist, student of Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In her works she experiments with lithography, screen printing and, more recently, natural dyeing. She is currently working on her thesis, in which she combines illustration work with artistic textiles. She loves small things, loud music, tea and her pink bicycle.

I combine lithography with various techniques of dyeing fabric and stitching it. Sometimes it is a stitch to make the work more like a quilt, sometimes the thread is used as a drawing tool, marking a figure or a character giving the work small marks, details, hints. I use different transparency of fabrics, sometimes intentionally exposing the frame of the loom. What I love about lithography is the detail of texture, the freedom of gesture and the opportunity to experiment.

Katarzyna Najder- a graduate of the dancer-choreographer specialty at the Academy of Humanities and Economics in Lodz, Master of Arts at the Academy of Music in Lodz. Co-founder and vice-president of ChiTT Artistic and Scientific Circle. On a daily basis an employee of the Municipal Cultural Zone: Chojny and the International School of Sports Championship in Lodz. Co-organizer of dance camps for adults WZLOTY.

I hypnotize the viewer by suspending his gaze. In art I don't take anything seriously, what matters is the beauty of the moment and the euphoria of experiencing it. Breathe with me from persistent thoughts.

Ania Brykowska -choreographer, dancer, future physiotherapist, seeking creative person. Graduate of the Academy of Music in Lodz at the Department of Choreography. She took her first dance steps at the age of 6 on the theater stages in Kalisz, and has been dancing and performing ever since. She works at the intersection of art styles and genres. She likes to approach art with a wink. She is associated with the Poznan and Lodz dance worlds. She has performed in choreographies by, among others: Jacek Owczarek, Witold Jurewicz, Katarzyna Leszek. She is the creator of the author's dance theater performance entitled. "We consist of layers".

It will be an instant composition based on choreographic fragments from the author's dance performance "We consist of layers". Together with my creative collective ( Karolina Adaszek, Karolina Fiuk, Maria Lenczewska, Basia Jung) we will take the viewer to the world of performance taking place here and now. We will delve into the collection of possibilities, movements, reactions and complex personalities - that is, the nature of man. What is created will be annihilated after a while. Will you join in?

Malgorzata Stasiak - doctor of art sciences, head of the Education Department of the Art Museum in Lodz, lecturer at the Film School in Lodz. In her educational and artistic activities she combines costume, experimental choreography, performance and creative writing exercises.

I believe in what already resides within us - small and larger narratives, repetitive gestures, loose impressions, forgotten choreographies of our bodies and minds, in which unique qualities, because only ours, are hidden. Word and movement are always available to us. It is worth using them to discover surprising layers of creative expression.

Justyna Olczak-Lipman - dancer and designer. Graduate of the Design Department at the Academy of Fine Arts and the Choreography and Dance Techniques Department at the Academy of Music. She has participated in performances and performance projects, including: feel free not to escape fromm (choreographed by Agnieszka Sterczyńska), The Runner (dir. Zuzanna Kasprzyk-Molenda and Andrzej Molenda), LUMINOUS as part of the Łódź Light Move Festival, Lithos (choreography by Jacek Owczarek), Link (choreography by Daria Szymańska), Treasure of the Unnamed Mountain (educational fairy tale, choreography by Jacek Owczarek and Krzysztof Skolimowski) and Brakarki directed by Jacek Owczarek in cooperation with the Central Textile Museum in Łódź (2024).

Recently, I have been struggling with high, self-imposed expectations, which led me to the point where I was afraid to start creating for fear of not meeting my expectations. I persisted in a vicious circle, where fear paralyzed me from starting to act, which induced remorse and gave unimaginable space to the critic, who was definitely not short of words that would hurt the hardest, then came the time for procrastination, because, after all, if you do nothing, you can't do anything wrong, another remorse that, after all, I am a dancer and I have to do something, an attempt to act, but in the course of this attempt already fear took over again, and so on and so forth, as a result, I reached perfection in avoidance. Now I'm trying to break this vicious cycle and see what all this cycle, which has been worked through many times, means for me in movement.
