  • Weaving Voices

    Weaving Voices in Naxos, Greece celebrates contemporary Greek loom weavers and their enduring tradition, which has served not only as a daily craft for women but also as a transformative act of identity, agency, and expression. Rooted in antiquity and myth—from Penelope’s symbolic weaving in Homer’s Odyssey to intricate patterns passed down through generations—this art form transforms abstract thought, personal narrative, and cultural memory into material form.

    Conceived by artist and designer Cynthia DiGiacomo, the exhibition features her series of photographic portraits printed on fabric, original woven works by contemporary Naxian loom weavers, and a richly layered historical context. Drawing on her Greek heritage, DiGiacomo reflects a deep engagement with Naxian weavers to surface stories that might otherwise remain untold.
