Clemen Parrocchetti: Un orlo a giorno per il mio diario (A hemstitch a day for my diary)

The second exhibition by Clemen Parrocchetti (Milan 1923–2016) at ChertLüdde, a rebellious artist whose practice used hemstitching, embroidery, and mixed media to confront women's subordination within the radical Italian feminist movement. About As part of Berlin Art Week, ChertLüdde presents ›Un orlo a giorno per il mio diario (A hemstitch a day for my diary)‹, the second exhibition by Clemen Parrocchetti (Milan 1923—2016) at the gallery in Berlin.
