Description
This project creates a multidimensional experience of music, memory, and visual art centered on the former Ursuline Monastery in Loutra, Tinos, and the women whose presence shaped its history. Inspired by the Ursuline order, the musical program features works by Hildegard von Bingen and Guillaume de Machaut, performed by five musicians on period string instruments. Their interpretations create a sonic bridge between past and present, evoking the spiritual and cultural world of the monastery.
Alongside the musical performance, a visual installation composed of fifty white nightgowns printed with cyanotypes derived from photographic and published archival material from the monastery brings to light the often-unseen stories of the women who lived, worked, and studied there. Through images, sounds, and symbolic elements, the work illuminates the intangible cultural heritage of Tinos, transforming memory into a lived and immersive experience.
The event concludes with the offering of baked goods inspired by historical recipes from the monastery and by the island’s local culinary traditions, extending the audience’s engagement with the cultural memory of the place through taste and hospitality.
