Vale dear Urszula Szulakowksa | 21 July 2023
My dear friend, colleague, educator and mentor Urszula Szulakowska was working on her new book but died yesterday while recovering from a long illness. My sincerest condolences to Urszula’s family, friends, colleagues, artist allies and students around the globe. We are truly grateful for her vast legacy of generosity and knowledge sharing.
