Did you know that there are also fairy tales where princesses save princes, the hero does not fit into the norms of beauty, and we do not even have to know the gender of the heroes?
Inspired by Paula Rego, who produces a new discourse based on fairy tales and stories in her works, the participants look at fairy tales from a new perspective and set out to add new images to the horizon of their imagination. Using body percussion and drama in the narrative process, the children who go to the “Tale Island” together weave the tales with the associations formed in their imaginations. Returning from their imaginary journey to the “Tale Island”, the children create their own fairy tale books with pastel paints.

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
