A talisman for the children
& the Earth
ENTOPOLOGIO at Anafi,2026
in collaboration with Anaffif
Starting from the creative workshop in which children from Anáfi, aged 4–8, participated, with the theme “Talisman of the Earth,” the first thread of this work was born.
During the workshop, the children were asked to depict Anáfi’s map, to recall their favorite places, paths, and routes.
From these memories and records, the embroidery began.
In the work, the rebuilding of the place happens through the composition of the children’s imprints and the crossing of the threads.
The thread takes on a symbolic character; it becomes a carrier of the complexity of the relationships and stories of those who were, those who are, and those who will continue to be bound to the place of Anáfi
