Description

“For a long time, textile arts were only practised privately among women; Barbara Guinevra also learned embroidery from her grandmother. Because of this feminine tradition, embroidery art was often denied artistic added value in a patriarchy marked by sexism. To this day, textile art is often not considered equal to fine art. It is precisely because of this prehistory of textile handicraft that it is so important to Barbara to make it accessible to a broad public as art.”
