The University of West Attica (UNIWA) is hosting an exhibition featuring works from six weaving studios that operated under its supervision across Greece—from Evros (Sofiko, Soufli, Ardanio) to Athens, and from Geraki in Laconia to Anogeia in Crete. The exhibition is taking place at the “Yiannis Ritsos” Cultural Center of the Municipality of Aigaleo.

Organized by the Research Laboratory for the Study and Conservation of Ancient and Modern Cultural Objects (CULTLAB) of the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art, the exhibition will open on November 24 at 7 p.m. CULTLAB was responsible for the design and coordination of the Weaving Section within the inter-university program Greek Handicraft—a pilot educational initiative aimed at developing craft-related skills.

The program is carried out by the University of West Attica, the University of Western Macedonia, and the University of Thessaly as part of the Ministry of Culture’s broader effort to revive traditional crafts in Greece. It is implemented under the action “Revitalization of Local Craft Units as a Driving Force for Development” within the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0, funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU initiative.

The exhibition highlights the rich output, contemporary techniques, and innovative creations of the students, bridging the historic art of weaving with modern aesthetics.

It will be open to the public daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
