The performative installation “Proces de remaiere” by Aproximativ 28 Group — composed of artists Ana Bănică, Cuzina, Oana Marinică, Alina Paina, Alina Șerban, Dora Tishmann, and Mihaela Moldovan — can be visited at 15 Design Gallery (63 Lipscani Street, Bucharest). The project brings together seven artists, mothers, and women with diverse experiences in a shared act of reweaving and healing, exploring fragility, memory, and resilience through artificial silk stockings and the symbolic gesture of mending.

“The project was born from our desire not only to repair things, but also to heal parts of ourselves.
We are seven artists, mothers, women coming from different places and contexts, meeting here to re-knot threads, ideas, thoughts, and gestures.
We chose to work with artificial silk stockings — a fragile, almost transparent material that carries the marks of time and reflects the vulnerability of women.
Instead of hiding imperfections, we choose to reframe them, to transform them into new forms.
Each mend (a drop of nail polish that stops a thread from unraveling) becomes a breath, an attempt not only to repair but also to be reborn.
The simple, old-fashioned gesture we present to the public speaks of how art can heal, of the possibility of continuation.
Mending is not only a domestic act but a metaphor for resistance. It is our way of saying that sometimes beauty is born precisely from what has come undone.”
