The Mosaic Narrative: Art, Design and Community by Kateryna Zabudska
“The Mosaic Narrative: Art, Design and Community began with an indepth investigation into mosaic as both an artistic medium and a metaphor, for identity, community and transformation.
“Through contributions from local residents, workshops and shared storytelling, the house will become a hub of healing, creativity and cultural memory. The Mosaic House reclaims space and positions the community not as subjects, but as co-creators of meaning and design.
