The exhibition “Dowry Chest (((pure lady)))” will feature textile works by artist Anna Malicka, offering a contemporary interpretation of traditional textile techniques, alongside a spatial installation and video. The central themes explore the role of women, drawing connections between contemporary internet culture and earlier examples of feminist culture.

Malicka’s exhibition is conceived as a materialization of a memory space, where subjective experience intertwines with material heritage, and vernacular interior elements merge with humanity’s search for refuge. The dowry chest is interpreted through the lens of Ursula K. Le Guin’s narrative construction method, in which various “containers,” such as a dowry chest or a purse, are symbolically linked to the role of women in preserving material culture.
