Sunflower Tales: Stories of Resilience - Group exhibition
The works presented in this exhibition are the result of a community and social art project promoted by the Soroptimist International Estoril-Cascais Club (SIEC), in partnership with the Cascais City Council. They were created by 11 Ukrainian women, deeply affected by the war that began in 2022, and are inspired by memories linked to personal objects that they brought with them to Portugal.
Using art as a means of expression and transformationโand textiles as one of the narrative supportsโthe participants were involved in all stages of the creative process, from writing to collage, from drawing to textile techniques, exploring the combination of different materials and approaches in their final pieces.
The Contos de Girassol project provided a safe space for sharing stories, emotions, dreams, and visions of the future, promoting dialogue, social cohesion, and a greater understanding of the impact of war on their lives.
Opening: September 13 at 6:00 p.m., with the dance performance Created, Broken, Reborn at 6:30 p.m.
