Sewing Café

Open Gallery :: In our gallery Galerie nEUROPA we not only present exhibitions of contemporary photographers with a connection to Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, but the space is also open for open meetings, coffee rounds, games evenings, workshops, seminars, think tanks, and so on.

Would you like to dream together, exchange ideas and get ready for spring? Come and join us!

You are cordially invited to the weekly sewing café. Here you can chat, get creative together and create beautiful things! Participation is free of charge. We provide a few needles, yarns and pieces of fabric. If you like, you can of course bring your own materials! Experience does not matter.

Background

Since autumn 2022, Yuliya Firsova, a teacher from Odesa, has been inviting people to the sewing café in the nEUROPA gallery. Together with other women who have fled Ukraine, they have created a place where they could unwind, talk, sing, share their problems and experience support and warmth.

The project is funded by the State Ministry for Social Affairs and Social Cohesion. This measure is co-financed with tax revenue based on the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament as part of the »Wir für Sachsen« funding programme.
