16.9. – 14.11.2024
The dowry, a tradition that dates back to ancient times, describes the handcrafted and valuable items, such as sewing and knitting, that are often prepared for a woman by her parents during her childhood. The items are the embodied evidence of the social roles considered appropriate for a young girl in the future. The prepared lace symbolise a close family bond as well as separation and detachment. At the same time, the semi-transparent covers conceal the memories, the reality of one's own time and the hope of an uncertain future. I cover my body with the dowry lace that my mother prepared for me.
(Mehtap Baydu)
