KOSOVO TRIP 2021
KOSOVO | 2021Firstly by Zaide Krapi, who stitched a ‘Goddess on the Throne’. One of the most precious archaeological artefacts of Kosovo which has been adopted as the symbol of the country's capital Pristina. Zaide writes:
"I have been a senior Librarian in the National Library of Kosovo since 2008, in the periodical section. To be able to embroider on to the Red Dress, as part of a national wide event is very exciting, I now feel part of it”.
The remaining 5 motifs were added by patients at the Mental Health Centre in Podujevë. The women were part of a small event at the Centre where Kirstie presented the Red Dress and stories of it’s many artisans. Some of the ladies then felt to add their own voices to the garment.
