Exhibition by Aglaia Haritz and Abdelaziz Zerrou

Thursday 5 December to Sunday 15 December 2013

Every week Thursday to Sunday, 5:00 to 10:00pm

Embroiderers of Actuality proposes as artwork an exchange between the local population with women embroiderers and young Egyptian artists using texts of literature written from contemporary and former Egyptian women, where art is the tool to trigger a process of questioning the local community and the artist.

This project wants to create a situation where the embroidery itself is the way to gather women in a common space to speak about all differences visions of resistance
