Embroidery workshop
January 17 at 16:00 in Old Town Library, Blumentálska 10/a.
A workshop of traditional Slovak and Ukrainian embroideries, which loosely follows on from Daniela Krajčová's art project Servetka (Napkin).
The author's linocuts by Daniela Krajčová became the basis for the self-expression of the participants, based on traditional Ukrainian embroidery.
In her work, she combines the art techniques of drawing, animation and installation with participatory and collaborative procedures. She fills the artistic means of expression with universally accessible stories, which she presents without generalisation and without losing the dignity and uniqueness of the voice of each participant.

Date with the city for families with children: Foreigners from the East
January 14, start at 10:00 in Bratislava
The first Jews came to the territory of our city together with the Romans. They stayed here for a while but did not initially settle here. Written references to the permanent settlement of Jews in Bratislava date back to the 13th century. They were concentrated in two places of the medieval city. They thus created two Jewish quarters, which, together with other communities, were protected by city walls. They were later expelled from the city.
You will find out more about this ongoing story, and how this community is doing today. You can register here.
