This year, ten emerging Cypriot designers collaborated with local artisans to learn traditional crafts and transform them into sustainable, modern fashion. Over months of shared stories, skills, and creativity, they built lasting connections that shaped this journey. 🫶

Our exhibition ‘Crafting Continuity’ celebrates this meeting of generations, where Cypriot crafts like weaving, embroidery, and basketry are reborn through sustainable design.🌱💚
