The exhibition MY HERO is spin-off of the ART QUILT Exhibition QRUITICAL by Maria Cijntje in commemoration of 161 years of the abolition of slavery, an exhibition where the participants tell the stories of several other HERO’s in a different form than we are used to.
MY HERO tells the story of resilience, creativity, and endurance and opens our eyes to the importance of looking closer to home for the HERO in you!
