Between Threads and Conversations | Talks: Embroidery That Speaks

What unites us? Embroidery is not merely a decorative technique, but also a social phenomenon and a form of contemporary artistic expression, capable of conveying a strong conceptual and political message. “Between Stitches and Conversations” creates a space for encounter, where participants will have the opportunity to learn about and reflect on the various uses and interpretations of the practice of embroidery.
