Summer festival “Dachnoe Tsaritsyno”
creative laboratory “Reconstructing Memory: Embroidering the Family Archive”
Embroidering images from the family archive
Dates and times:
19 July, 10:00–15:00
20 July, 10:00–14:00
A family photo archive is a unique way not only to document the lives of our ancestors but also to discover unobvious personal connections and hidden details, to immerse ourselves in family history and find the origins of our own identity.
Textiles and embroidery help us focus on personal memories and have a therapeutic effect. In a creative atmosphere, we will recall family stories, look through photo albums and try to create our own personal photo archive through embroidery — paying tribute to “forgotten ancestors” and realising our place in the history of our family and lineage. You will be able to embroider an image that is precious to you, reproducing a photo from the archive or combining people from different photographs in one embroidery.
To take part, please bring photographs from your family album or scanned copies.
On the first day of the laboratory, from 14:15 to 15:00, you can join a guided tour of the “Dachnoe Tsaritsyno” exhibition.
Led by: Marina Sazonenko, artist, educator, graduate of the HSE Graduate School of Art and Design, project manager at the Fabrika Centre for Creative Industries.
All materials and tools are provided.
