This year I am presenting the exhibition “Afghanistan with LOVE”. It’s about my own artistic work, which accompanies my work at Guldusi: all the works that have been created for almost 20 years have been emotionally accompanied and supported by the collaboration with the Afghan women.
The exhibition takes place in the église Saint Nicolas in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines.

12 – 15 September 2019, Sainte Marie-aux-Mines, France

Exhibition: The dialogue of the flowers

Internationally renowned quilter Elsbeth Nusser-Lampe has agreed to participate in this project: the exhibition shows Elsbeth’s quilts together with Afghan embroidery work inspired by them.

Her artistic style consists of floral work, although her intention is not to try and reproduce nature, but rather to evoke the feelings provoked by its creations. In this common project the challenge was to bring out the improvisational abilities of the Afghan embroiderers.

Elsbeth provided photos of some of her works, including close-ups, which were then distributed to a few carefully selected embroiderers through the care of Pascale Goldenberg, the coordinator of the Guldusi embroidery program.

The instructions given to the Afghan embroiderers: interpret the illustrations in the photos using your own hand stitching techniques.

Message Julia Decker

Our sponsor “Madeira Garne” invited us to present the exhibition “Message” at h+h Cologne – »International Trade Fair for Creative Handicraft + Hobby Supplies«.

The competition “Message” invited all participants to integrate an Afghan embroidery featuring words or letters into a textile art work. Each of the 41 results, measuring A4 or A3, is therefore created by 4 hands. The work had to express a message; it could be either a legible text or a rather abstract composition. The embroidery had to stay visible. The message could be directed towards oneself, towards a known, beloved or unknown person or in general towards mankind.

You can find us at h+h cologne in Hall 2.1, B-031a.
Next to the exhibition, Afghan embroidery will be offered for sale. We are excited to see you there!
