Description

The Kore opens the chest. As she unfolds the rugs, one by one, she recalls everything her mother told her. Each weft, three stories: the story of the world–with wars, harvests, and fairs –, the story of the community–with songs, teasing, fairy tales, and blankets –, and the silent story of the heart.

With expectations, loneliness, and dreams. This is how the weaving hours used to pass under the lamplight. Women’s hands resembled those of the mythical, ageless Weavers. Yet times have changed. The Kore no longer weaves to warm herself and others; she weaves to remember and create. Wefts become voices. And the loom becomes a musical body. The threads are quivering. Through the final weaving, where memories come together, Erchigos is born – a work made of sound.
