THREADS: From Hands to Memory

What stays with us when we leave home? Why is women’s handwork once again becoming a language of remembrance? And how can tradition live today — not only in museums, but in contemporary life?

“Threads: From Hands to Memory” is an exhibition about intergenerational connection, women’s experience, and Belarusian culture that continues through hands, fabric, ornament, and stories.

In the exhibition:

🧵 traditional and reconstructed Belarusian folk costumes 🧵 hand and machine embroidery as a living, evolving tradition 🧵 dolls dressed in regional costumes 🧵 a collective installation made of women’s stories and textile fragments 🧵 contemporary interpretations of ornament as a language of memory and belonging

This exhibition is not about a past that has been left somewhere far away.

It’s about a process:

from hands to memory, from memory to form, from form to a new life for tradition.

📍 Where: Ivan Lutskevich Belarusian Museum in Vilnius Vilniaus g. 20, Vilnius

🕕 When: Friday, 18:00

Come be with us — to look, to touch, to remember, and to see how the threads of memory continue today.
