About the Exhibition
Bird of Hope for Peace is an interdisciplinary art installation that brings together the visual language of sculpture and the symbolic power of flight to convey a universal message of peace, compassion, and renewal. The artwork—a stylized bird composed of nearly one thousand Roses of Hope—embodies resilience and interconnectedness among people and nations. The lace roses were created in eleven countries by lacemakers responding to an open call initiated by the artist Eva Petric in collaboration with the Idrija Lace School and the Idrija Tourist Board, using recycled handmade lace. Donated to the artist during the Idrija Lace Festival 2024, the roses were transformed by Petric into a collective artwork.
