Preserving looms, narrating traditions

Ioanna Papantoniou, founder and president of the Basil Papantoniou Foundation in Nafplio, talks about weaving the #plafi, a tradition whose cultural significance extends to all Greece and beyond. With her words and passion, she demonstrates how preserving objects also means collecting memories: the intangible heritage that forms our collective identity.

The video produced by EFHA - European Fashion Heritage Association in collaboration with Basil Papantoniou Foundation, is part of the Europeana Crafted series.
