Inside the embroidery. The rematerialization of traditional embroidery in a post-digital approach

The installation takes Castelo Branco Embroidery and the textile technology involved as a starting point, materializes the design motifs, and deconstructs the fabric as if the fabric that was being embroidered exploded., expanding through the exhibition space. The Embroidery of Castelo Branco is traditional from the Beira Baixa region, in the interior of Portugal, and is considered the result of the meeting of cultures between West and East, with a strong European influence. The motifs of this Embroidery design result from the convergence of the design and engravings made in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, in Portuguese tiles, in Indian textiles, and in Chinese porcelain.
