This workshop is inspired by Paula Rego's large-sized work "Battle of Alcácer Quibir", designed using wool, silk, cotton and various textures on linen fabric. Participants first experience the exhibition with a guide and witness the magical stories of the artist; then, they reflect their imagination in their art by using various colors, patterns and types of fabrics.

Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
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”.
