The upcoming exhibition at La Passerelle brings together works by Helena Ťapajnová and Bruna Olivet-Ara, exploring the theme of memory.
Designed in close collaboration with the artists, who are members of Verarte, the project brings their artistic approaches into dialogue with one another. Ťapajnová and Olivet-Ara explore the flow of memories and translate it through the forms, colours and materiality of glass.
