Info

Exibition HANDS AND THREADS is a gentle dedication to the hands who have weaved threads into blankets, songs, stories, and people, many mothers before us.

We wanted to create a space where tradition becomes a living, inherited ritual. Like an endless thread being pulled from one generation to the next. We perceive the thread as a metaphor for time that prompts very personal reflection. How many woven scarves lie between me and my great-grandmother? This process allows us to realise that we are all part of a great continuity.
