The project OVERSEAS is a collaborative endeavour of Glitzký from Iceland and Association of Theatre Pedagogues from Poland.
Our main goals are:
🌈 To provide a platform for migrant individuals to express themselves creatively through participatory artistic workshops
🌈 To equip educators with new teaching methods and tools through the work-based educational approach
In Iceland, our workshops are starting in May 2024.

Vena Naskrecka
Vena Naskrecka is a multidisciplinary artist with a strong background in fine arts and a focus on socially and ecologically engaged projects. Holding a First Class Honors Master's in Art and Process from Cork Institute of Technology, Crawford College of Art & Design in Ireland, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hanze University Groningen's Academy Minerva in the Netherlands, Vena has developed her vocabulary across different cultures and educational systems.
Vena’s research spans subjects of disability and body politics, vulnerability, and the interplay between people and the environment. This interest extends to exploring the experiences of vulnerable populations affected by pollution, global warming, and political challenges.
With a commitment to community engagement, her artistic practice emphasizes the importance of local narratives and environmental awareness. She uses second-hand and recycled materials to create installations that weave together personal stories, dreams, and reflections.

Magdalena Tworek
Magdalena Tworek is a movement artist, theatre performer, cultural producer and an educator.
Her learning journey has been enriched by collaborations with teachers from various cultural backgrounds and knowledge fields, each bringing a unique perspective and approach to her practice.
With a postgraduate diploma in Art Therapy, she has been using creativity as a tool for self-expression and healing. In her current artistic endeavours she expresses her commitment to celebrating diversity, and intercultural dialogue. Through collaborative projects, she co-creates spaces where people can come together, exchange ideas, and express themselves authentically, in a safe, and non-judgemental environment.
Her workshops often incorporate elements of improvisation, movement, sensing, and collaborative games.
