Joanna Mikulska

The most important experiences during my studies include: distributing posters for the Festival of Contemporary Dance at the Centre for Contemporary Art.; proofreading of a Maths textbook during an internship at the Pruszyński i S-ka publishing house; discussion with Urszula Kochanowska during an exam at the National Museum under Józef Mehoffer’s painting “Strange Garden”, going beyond a paper frame during the “Designing creative situations” classes ran by Maria Parczewska and Janusz Byszewski and working on the graduation project together with my friends: a creative writing workshop. Owing to all these practical classes I realised what I did not want to repeat and what gives me the most joy. All of the above keep resonating in my professional life today.
