The Mariposa Museum & World Cultural Center in Peterborough hosted a creative workshop April 8, teaching students how to make papier-mâché low-relief sculptures. The session was inspired by the museum’s exhibition displaying the work of Nickolay.
Moscow-born Nickolay Manuylov, aka “Kuk,” began his career as an underground artist in Stalin’s USSR.It was an era when the art that Kuk, his late wife Lidiya Kirillova, and other nonconforming artists made was illegal. The mythological and esoteric.
