Synopsis

Exhibition | Embroidered decorative towels, collective NEpraktične žeNE

The handcraft community “NEpraktične žeNE” (“Impractical women”) unites the em-broidered towels from many women, men and everyone else. The community was found-ed in 2000 and named in 2016. Members and others: Lenka Zelenović, Brigita Međo, Sanja Stamenković, Pava Martinović, Vesna Nenadov, shkart, Vladan Nikolić, and many other women and men.

we keep wondering:

– do we dare, instead of passively re-peating the traditional lesson of «HOW IT SHOULD BE», use neglected housework as a means to openly use the language of critical communication to talk about «HOW IT IS»?

– can we join different creative and handicraft experiences in a united battle against patriarchy and violence, for equality, solidarity, and the right to speak up?

– what do we say to bent heads?
– and what do we say to sleepy heads?
You can find NPŽ’s decorative towels displayed everywhere, from cloth drying ropes, street acts, village fairs, schools, retire-ment homes, activist events, protests, all up to world galleries, museums, and design fairs. They have been translated in English, Spanish, Polish, German, French, Korean, Japanese, and now in Macedonian too; the messages are read on poetry nights, in spa baths.... They are available for everyone, always searching for new questions and critique.
