Isabella Ducrot's Textile Art in Dialogue with Museo delle Civiltà Collections
The Museo delle Civiltà in Rome's EUR district is currently featuring an exhibition called 'Tessere è umano,' showcasing both the historic textile collections and the artistic creations of Isabella Ducrot, a Neapolitan artist born in 1931. This exhibition is divided into two segments: one highlights textiles from various time periods, curated by Francesca Manuela Anzelmo and Paolo Boccuccia, while the second showcases Ducrot's works, including 'Ripetizioni' and 'Arazzo Rilke,' curated by Anna Mattirolo and Andrea Viliani.
