The exhibition 'Threads of Memory' explores how identity is negotiated under conditions of migration, political repression, and personal loss, and how textile practices function as carriers of memory, resistance, and cultural continuity. Drawing on the artist's Belarusian migration background, the work reflects on ruptures, ambivalences, and violent political attributions connected to the origins. The exhibition brings drawings, photographs, and textile works into a poetic dialogue. Textile becomes an archive—a material that stores experience and transmits meaning across time. The artistic work addresses identity, politics, and memory, making a return to Belarus impossible. Through textile works and photography, the artist processes experiences of loss, control, and homesickness. Textile functions as a carrier of cultural identity, memory, and protest. Embroidery, deeply rooted in Belarusian culture and nature, connects personal experiences with collective memory, linking past and present. Katharina Büttgen.
