EU Textiles

The artist Małgorzata Markiewicz has designed the national costume for the citizens of the European Union. The costumes consist of two parts: a blouse shaped as the letter ‘E’ and trousers shaped as the letter ‘U’. The costumes of particular member states only differ in the type of material that they are made of, and the trimmings. They are all noted for being local, modest, comfortable, simple and caring towards the environment. The costumes are presented in a number of  EU states. The exhibition in MOCAK is accompanied by a catalogue presenting the idea of the project, individual costumes and samples of the textiles used.

The project EU Textiles by Małgorzata Markiewicz has been produced as part of activities financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
