tapestry of many voices • гобелен багатьох голосів
collaboration with Daria Titova

NOV 2025 - ongoing
This indpendent project has received financial support from Eesti Kultuuriministeerium, Eesti Kunstiakadeemia, and Eesti Rahvuskultuuri Fond. ‘Tapestry of Many Voices’ is an artistic project committed to the creation of a physical and digital/audio tapestry of Ukrainian stories, memories, dreams, and all that lies in between; a tactile exploration of storytelling as a means of (re)constructing folklore in times of crisis.

Developed across three different countries  (Ukraine, The United Kingdom, and Estonia) via a series of workshops, this tapestry represents something that, in response to the relentless plundering of Ukrainian art by Russian forces, cannot be destroyed or taken: something rooted in, and generative of, knowledge, memory, and connection.

The creation of an accompanying audio tapestry is intended to further safeguard the permanence of this contemporary folklore, translating the stories and testimonies shared into the security of another medium, which, in this case, is further shielded by its immateriality.
