Nefeli Terzi
Her journey into weaving is deeply personal, filled with memory, tradition, and a quest for cultural meaning. She grew up in her mother’s weaving studio, established in 1996.The textures and scents of natural dyes, along with the sound of the loom, were part of her daily life. Yet, her own path took shape over time. After studying 3D animation and illustration in Athens and working in the city's nightlife for several years, Nefeli sought a new direction. In 2016, she moved to Iceland, where she worked in wool production and later studied traditional weaving with her first teacher, Hata, in a remote mountain village. There, she began to see weaving not just as a craft, but as a way to connect with place, time, and community. During the pandemic, she returned to Greece to reconnect with her roots and the feminine culture embedded in textile traditions. In 2021, she and her mother, representing the first and second generations, revived the family weaving workshop. Today, her work continues this legacy, weaving contemporary stories into ancient techniques. At the ART MONIA Festival 2025, Nefeli will present “The Web of Memory – Arachnaio”, as performed live, embodies the dialectical relationship between drawing and weaving. The collaboration between Nefeli Terzi and Nikos Kanoglou is not merely a merging of two media, but a co-formation of a shared visual language. Here, weaving becomes an act of embodied memory, a web still in the making, shaped by time and the gestures of the hand.
