Contrasts

The art of patchwork returns to the “Angeliki Hatzimichali” Museum of Folk Art and Tradition of the City of Athens with the exhibition “Contrasts,” featuring 230 works by artists from Greece and countries of the European Patchwork Federation (European Quilting Association). Artists from Italy, Switzerland, Finland, England, Germany, Poland, Latvia and Ukraine explore contrast as a condition for coexistence, dialogue and creation, through three dimensions: Light and Color, Matter and Texture, and Idea and Form. The exhibition aims to highlight cooperation among the peoples of Europe and a dynamic field of contemporary visual expression rooted in European folk art tradition. Curator: Stavroula Pisimisi, folklorist and director of the museum. Admission is free for the public.
