Let´s go to St. Petersburg!
The 20th ETN conference will take place in St. Petersburg from 22rd to 25th of May 2022.
The conference was originally planned in May 2021 and will now be postponed for one year due to the current Corona situation.
To bridge the gap, ETN will offer an alternative programme in 2021. Details will follow!
The conference 2022 in St. Petersburg will be organized in cooperation with the Stieglitz Academy for Applied Arts. The lectures and exhibition will take place at the Academy. Other locations will be the Hermitage, official partner of the conference and the Ethnographic Museum, both of which have wonderful collections of textiles.
The theme of the conference is "Codes - stories in textiles". A wide range of lectures illuminate countless stories that are hidden in textiles and reflect the character of different cultures - an exciting topic that we will also encounter in the exhibitions and the wonderful collections of the St. Petersburg museums.
The programme is currently under development. Registration will start 2021.
