Tessuti Toniù

"Tessuti Toniù" is about swishes, swatches and offcuts. It is a motif that unravels throughout the life of a woman, Antonia, and that, with its history, covers an entire century.
It is an on the edge tale, written with the eyes of a daughter that, on her skin and in the thick weaving of the fabrics, finds tracks, loves, wounds, and successes of an entire life. But it is also a catalogue of small treasures, those coming from the shop in which Antonia sold her fabrics, “Tessuti Toniù”, the finish line of a path that Antonia chased and protected with the stubbornness and bravery of a southern post-second-world-war female entrepreneur and that is a border where the rituals and habits of a transforming female identity deploy.
