The themes of peace and war have often been at the center of the visual arts: one of the symbolic works of the disasters of war is Guernica by Pablo Picasso. In 2022, in collaboration with the MAN Museum of Nuoro, the weavers of 'Studio Pratha' of Sarule worked on a reflection on this canvas, drawing inspiration from it for a series of eight panels of Sardinian wool woven with a vertical loom that constitute the artistic project Weaving Peace. Homage to Guernica. The tapestries have already been partly exhibited in Nuoro, but this exhibition in the Pinacoteca of Sassari will offer the public, which can be visited until 25 August 2024, the opportunity to admire two previously unpublished pieces.
