The exhibition highlights different cultural and original ways in which fibrous materials and textile traditions can be used and utilized. The exhibition features several sculptural pieces made of everyday materials that have been manipulated and used in surprising ways. This experimental approach invites not only visual expression but also evokes questions about the value of materials and their endless possibilities and significance.
