During residencies in Maramuresch, the artists had the opportunity to learn traditional techniques of weaving, sewing and dyeing from local artisans and apply these skills in contemporary creations. The exhibition not only preserves and protects intangible cultural heritage, but also promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The works on display include textiles, ceramics, wood and recyclable materials and reflect a unique blend of tradition and contemporary innovation.
