<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2024, around twenty artists from different practices and nationalities gathered in S\u0103cel, in the Maramure\u0219 region, in a residency hosted by Anca Potera\u0219u. During the residency, the artists had the opportunity to learn traditional techniques in weaving, sewing, and textile dyeing from local craftsmen, applying these skills in contemporary creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After days of observing and discovering the area, workshops were quickly organized, allowing participants to learn ceramics or weaving techniques. Focused on environmental respect and sustainability, the residency project required the artists to work with local materials. A kiln, built on-site, allowed for the firing of ceramics made from regional stoneware, while the wool for the weavings came from village sheep, along with the pigments used to color them. Alongside this respect for the land was the discovery of each artist\u2019s customs, a sort of geographical initiation and personal exploration. The project was then set to travel to Vienna, Zagreb, and simultaneously to Bucharest, continuing the tradition of revisiting ancient customs with reflections on territorial and gender assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition not only preserves and protects intangible cultural heritage but also promotes more sustainable and eco-friendly practices. The showcased works include textiles, ceramics, wood, and recyclable materials, reflecting a unique blend of tradition and contemporary innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
