\nWeaving is the process of interlacing at least two systems of threads at right angles; warp and weft. With this process, we get flat or three-dimensional textile creations, depending on the weaving techniques we use. The application of hand weaving is very wide; from clothing items, home textiles, decorative elements, spatial installations, etc.
\nAt the “Weaving Techniques” workshop, we delved into the secrets of this very old and respected craft. We learned something about the history of weaving in Croatia, got to know the parts of the loom and the loom, and what materials and tools are used in hand weaving. Each of the participants worked on their own weaving frame and learned the procedures of folk techniques whose traditions contemporary weavers try to maintain. We also mentioned some “newer” weaving techniques and how to connect tradition and contemporary artistic expression through the magic of threads.<\/p>\n

The Artists for Artists Residency Network<\/strong>, a two-year project (2023-2024),\u00a0aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators, while creating greater opportunities for women in the arts.<\/strong>\u00a0The project takes place in four European partner countries \u2013 Romania, Germany, Croatia and Austria. The project focuses on the development of new international exchanges and transcultural dialogue and provides a number of new opportunities for art practitioners of all ages, in different artistic media, with a special emphasis on women in art and gender equality. The result of the project will be increased awareness of the importance of cultural mobility at local legislative levels, but also in the general public, especially in the current (post)crisis European context, strengthening EU affiliation and connection with contemporary visual art.<\/p>\n

The project includes:\u00a012 artist residencies<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb (HR), Mulhouse (FR), Bucharest (RO) and in S\u0103cel, Maramure\u0219 (RO),\u00a04 curatorial residencies<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb and Bucharest,\u00a012 conferences<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb, Bucharest and Vienna and\u00a01 traveling international exhibition<\/strong>, which will first be shown to the public in Zagreb (HR), and then in Vienna (AT) and Bucharest (RO).<\/p>\n
