LOCATION: Slovenia, Škofja Loka, Zavod Tri / Tri Institute and Škofja Loka Museum
FOCUS: migration, displacement, women
SIZE: 16
PRIVATE/PUBLIC: After the exhibition in 2022 the textile pictures are now private
DESCRIPTION: The exhibition featured the personal stories of the participants in the workshops prepared by Zavod Tri, a Škofja Loka-based non-governmental organisation focused on sustainable community practices. The stories were originally written in three languages – Slovenian, English and the participants’ mother tongues – and depicted on embroidered canvases. The exhibitors based their work on personal photographs that presented their respective day-to-day lives, families and ways of life, or a particular moment from the time when they moved to a new environment. They impressed and transferred black-and-white copies of the photographs onto the canvas with glue, and then highlighted certain details and outlines with coloured threads.
The women who have moved to Škofja Loka and those who have lived here for a long time have been meeting since 2018. Every September, they open their door with a language course, which then evolves into expression through textile arts. The exhibition featured women from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Northern Macedonia, Kosovo, the USA and Ukraine. As part of the programme, which took place in 2021 and 2022, the participants visited the Škofja Loka Museum, learned about the history of the Škofja Loka area and about the work involved in preparing and staging exhibitions at the museum. No matter where people come from, they become part of the community, they have their own attitude towards the local environment. This is not only the place where they live, but also where they express themselves and create. And this is what the museum aimed to present and introduce to visitors.
Na razstavi so predstavljene osebne zgodbe udeleženk delavnic, ki jih pripravlja Zavod Tri, nevladna organizacija za trajnostne skupnostne prakse, ki deluje v Škofji Loki. Zgodbe so bile prvotno napisane v treh jezikih – v slovenskem, angleškem in njihovem maternem jeziku – ter upodobljene na izvezenih platnih. Avtorice so izhajale iz osebnih fotografij, ki predstavljajo njihov vsakdan, družino in način življenja ali pa izbran trenutek iz časa, ko so se preselile v novo okolje. Črno-bele kopije fotografij so nato z lepilom odtisnile in prenesle na platna ter z barvnimi nitmi poudarile določene podrobnosti in obrise.
Ženske, ki so se v Škofjo Loko priselile, in tiste, ki tu živijo že dlje časa, se srečujejo od leta 2018. Vsak september odprejo vrata z jezikovnim tečajem, ki se nato razvija v izražanje s tekstilno umetnostjo. Na razstavi sodelujejo ženske, ki prihajajo iz Srbije, Bosne in Hercegovine, Severne Makedonije, s Kosova, iz Združenih držav Amerike in Ukrajine. V programu, ki je potekal v letih 2021 in 2022, so udeleženke obiskale tudi Loški muzej ter se seznanile z zgodovino škofjeloškega območja, pa tudi z načinom pripravljanja in postavljanja razstav v muzeju. Ne glede na to, od kod prihajajo, postajajo ljudje del skupnosti in imajo odnos do lokalnega okolja; tu ne le živijo, ampak se tudi izražajo in ustvarjajo. To je muzej tokrat pomagal predstaviti ter približati obiskovalcem in obiskovalkam.
