About

🤩🎨 In 2022, the worlds of textile designer Zsófia Gyenes and visual artist Ferenc Gróf converged in a collaborative journey. Their collective works traverse the boundary between textile design and visual art, creating a unique fusion of these fields.

Their inaugural joint exhibition draws inspiration from the iceberg metaphor of Maria Mies (1931-2023), the German ecofeminist thinker, as articulated in her 1999 work The Subsistence Perspective: Beyond the Globalised Economy, co-authored with Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen. 

The exhibition features works created over the past year, inspired by diagrams, infographics, and political slogans reflecting ecological and economic despair. Through these pieces, they aim to construct new building blocks, offering a fresh perspective on these pressing issues.
