TANIT for Mykonos Folklore Museum.

Our beautiful exclusively handmade on the loom Tanit dress created for the exhibition about the art of weaving, entitled; “You have my blessing to learn the loom”, organised by the Charitable Institute of the Municipality of Mykonos for the Environment, Education and Development (KDEPPAM) and  Mykonos Folklore Museum.

Curated by Mina Karagianni,Museologist.

For the creation of Tanit dress we used silk produced in house with “Peace silk” method.

The Phoenician deity Tanit, who prevents the invasion of evil, the enemy, negative energy. Her ideogram dominates the House of Dolphins in Delos. The ideogram of the Phoenician deity Tanit had an apocalyptic character and was therefore placed in the mosaic of the central entrance to protect the occupants of the house. Tanit could be the symbol of our time, of the need for rebirth and for the rule of good.
