The National Centre RUSSIA invites visitors to attend the patchwork exposition "Soul of Russia," which will be open until July 27. The display features works by contemporary artisans from various regions of the country, created using techniques rooted in the ancient craft of patchwork.

Each piece presented in the exposition combines colourful patches of various fabrics. Thanks to the diversity of textures and colours, the artworks convey deep meanings imbued by their creators.

Guests of the exposition will discover stunning patchwork panels reminiscent of paintings, as well as cosy quilts adorned with traditional folk patterns. These works are more than just handicrafts — they carefully preserve the traditions of ancestors, create a sense of homely warmth, and serve as a thread connecting generations. The panels portray scenes inspired by the "Russian village," depicting the vastness of Russian fields and the everyday life of peasant families. Additionally, the exposition includes patchwork items in the form of both traditional and stylised designer garments.

A particularly valuable aspect of the exposition is its history: the presented works have been collected over more than ten years and have travelled to many countries, serving as a cultural mission representing Russia abroad. Through patchwork art, people of various nationalities gain insight into Russian spirit, authenticity and spiritual values.

The exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA is part of the large-scale international festival "Soul of Russia," which brings together more than two thousand artisans from across the country. Each year, the collection is enriched with new masterpieces, showcasing the boundless creative potential of this folk art.

More information about the patchwork exposition "Soul of Russia" is available on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA in the "Events" section.
