Discarded items of clothing are reinterpreted with the help of various textile techniques. This results in individual textile sculptures. The artist Nevena Ekimova from Gabrovo, Bulgaria, is known for her visual-tactile installation and sculpture works and participatory projects in public spaces. Her often political works made from recycled materials are inspired by the textile tradition of her home town.

You can bring along discarded items of clothing or fabrics with a favourite pattern and/or history. Material will also be provided. No sewing skills are required.

Program field

Tales of Transformation

In its major exhibition ‘Tales of Transformation’, the Industriemuseum Chemnitz compares the development of former industrial hotspots: Chemnitz, Gabrovo, Łódź, Manchester, Mulhouse and Tampere. The exhibition sheds light on the impulses for the future coming from these cities and what they can learn from each other: rapid growth and splendid wealth paired with precarious living conditions - later a radical collapse and the necessary reinvention. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
