The Finno-Ugric tradition-inspired fashion exhibition “Threads of Kinship” (in estonian Hõimulõim) invites you to join its guided tours!
As part of the Narva Finno-Ugric Capital of Culture 2025 programme, NART presents an international contemporary fashion exhibition that brings together creators from nine Finno-Ugric people: the Khanty, Mari, Udmurts, Finns (including Ingrian Finns), Karelians, Hungarians, Komis, Sámi, and Estonians (including Võro and Seto communities). Through the work of 21 authors, the exhibition reveals stories about the multilayered meanings embedded in their garments, as well as what it means to be a fashion designer of Finno-Ugric descent in the modern world.
We hope the exhibition will inspire visitors to make more space for tradition-inspired fashion in their everyday choices, because protecting traditions is just as important as allowing culture to evolve naturally.
