The theme ”MATERIA as a MESSENGER” delves into how material communicates, focusing on everyday materials carrying memories. It explores associations and contrasts within objects, emphasizing tactile experiences over verbal communication. There’s a growing interest in material creation, evident in artists’ practices and public engagement with crafts, handmade items, and design. This trend may stem from a response to our digital world or a protest against AI. Ultimately, we communicate through material, employing a silent language.

Flax, meticulously chosen, holds a rich history intertwined with human existence. Symbolizing continuity, it was revered for its healing and cleansing attributes, often featured in rituals worldwide. Across time and place, flax echoes humanity's enduring fears, needs, and shared experiences.
