Programm

Nanna has already long closely cooperated with Dr. Kristine Scherer, curator of the Heidelberg Max Berk Textil Collection. Dr. Scherer is the initiator and "motor" of the European Quilt Triennale (EQT). The home base of the the Europe-wide contemporary textile competition is at her museum. An international jury reviews the call-for-entries of each triennale. Nanna was invited to participate in the committees of the 8.EQT and the 9.EQT. She has thus acquired much knowledge of the history of the EQT-competition and gained insights into the textile artists now on show at the "9.EQT-Tampere" at Finlayson Area's Vooninki-exhibition space. The team at Finlayson Area graciously invited the textile show to be shown in Finland for the first time. Thank you!

Please join Nanna's public tours of the show depicting 45 contemporary fiber works from 11 European countries. Finland is represented with two pieces.

Throughout the exhibition - from (Sat) 17.1. until (Sun) 15.2.2026 - Nanna is glad to meet visitors at Vooninki, who are interested in background-information as regards the competition or want to learn more about the works. Also she happily answers any questions relating to potential collaboration projects, general inquiries on the textile scene in southwestern Germany or the German-speaking Europe. Her own studio-workshop _nannatextiles in Stuttgart is celebrating its 10th anniversary in November 2026.

Admission is free to both the exhibition as also the public tours.
Sundays: 2:30 - ca. 3.30 pm in Finnish (and if needed also in German)
Wednesdays: 2:30 - ca. 3.30 pm in English (and if needed also in Finnish)
Fridays: 2:30 - ca. 3:30 pm in Finnish

Please join us for a Textile-Symposium (see separate announcement under _programm) on the afternoon of the opening (Fri) 16 January from 3-5 pm. Also everyone is warmly welcome to the 9.EQT-exhibition opening starting 6 pm.
