Agustinak Zentroa in Errenteria will open the 'Arditik ardira' exhibition this Thursday, June 18, aiming to reclaim latxa sheep wool as a valuable cultural and artistic resource.

The exhibition showcases the entire transformation process of wool, from its raw state to its final artistic applications. By combining photographs, textile works, and installations, the project encourages reflection on the potential of this natural resource, which often faces challenges in its utilization.
The initiative is the result of a collaboration between three professionals specializing in floral art, photography, and heritage restoration. Their multidisciplinary approach seeks to create new opportunities for the sector and promote the appreciation of traditional crafts through contemporary innovation.
A key feature of the exhibition is an outdoor land art installation consisting of a large-format photograph suspended between trees and embroidered with wool. The exhibition will be open to the public throughout June and July.
