I'm a Jar, but I scream

Under the theme “I'm a jar, but I scream”, Rita Afonso's collection intends to pay tribute to all the screams of women throughout history. In particular, the screams of those who wanted to be artists and had to settle for the so-called minor arts.

Clarisse Lispector said: “If I have to be an object, let me be an object that screams”.

The collection screams for the painting of still lifes, for the weaving frames, for the vases and for the fruits that replaced the breasts, legs and naked bodies of the greater arts.

Earrings, clothing and bags exemplify the potential of embroidery, which goes beyond clothing.

At LRT, embroidery is not just a simple adornment, it is art.
