RoKultur a.s.b.l. invites you to discover 35 shirts and their stories written with threads of longing, passion, ardor and pride, on fine linen cloth or rustic hemp cloth. They are about the bonds that are created between people and about friendship. Each of us wrote his story with the thought of a grandmother or her daughter, the dear man or an important moment. Our stories intertwined and inspired other stories and other ladies who got their hands on the needle.
The exhibited shirts and stories are written by:
Alexandra Stoian, Liliana Turliu, Mihaela Alecu, Mihaela Adina Osiceanu, Lavinia Dragu, Carina Țoca, Diana Mircea, Raluca Brânzilă, Georgiana Cotolan, Mirela Dragotă, Ștefana Puiu, Camelia Constantinescu, Laura Fevrier, Raluca Caranfil and Ștefania Atanasiu.
Admission is free and the opening hours of the exhibition are:

29 June 2025, 10.00 – 18.00.

The exhibition of Romanian shirts sewn in Luxembourg will feature the conference ‘Authenticity, Tradition, Revival’ with Dr Horațiu Silviu Ilea from the Museum of the Romanian Peasant in Bucharest. Horațiu Silviu Ilea is a member of the committee of experts which drew up the UNESCO dossier ‘The art of the strait shirt – an element of cultural identity in Romania and the Republic of Moldova’, which led to the inclusion of the strait shirt in UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage. At the Museum of the Romanian Peasant, Horațiu Silviu Ilea deals with folk costumes that belonged to the Royal Family of Romania, as well as over 20,000 pieces of traditional costumes – shirts, catriente, fotas, adornments, fur coats or dimie. He is the author of several volumes on folk art and numerous articles published in collective volumes and specialized magazines.
