Discrete Medical Embroidery, an Exhibition by Martina Chiquet

Martina Chiquet appropriates the art of thread to heal both body and mind. To coincide with the national breast cancer screening awareness campaign, the artist invests the Goutte d’Or Library with a series of highly refined textile works. Far from cold clinical imagery, her creations blend the precision of a surgical gesture with the delicacy of cotton. Each stitch becomes a trace, a scar or a hope, transforming the medical support into a poetic terrain of expression. This meticulous work invites a different perspective on illness and resilience through material. This sensitive proposition pays tribute to the strength of patients while celebrating the beauty of care. This engaged installation is freely accessible within the library spaces.
