A Bereg cross-stitch embroidery is one of the best known and richest ornamental traditions of Hungarian folk art. The motifs of the Bereg region of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, with its characteristic geometric and floral patterns, form an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage.

Handmade embroideries are not just decorative elements, but a form of communal memory and craft knowledge passed down through generations.

A Silent Renaissance / Silent Renaissance curatorial project, Bereg cross-stitch ornamentation enters into dialogue with contemporary artistic thinking. Traditional motifs are thus placed in a new context, where the visual language of folk art meets the possibilities of contemporary artistic expression.
