Kanonatra Project by Ana Vujović

“A new visual phenomenon that we have before us is Kanonatra from Ana Vujović. The term itself is a derivative made by the author. It is comprised of two words: the first is canon, which refers to a group of strict, well-determined rules and thresholds set by tradition, with which the artist deals with through her research. The second word, which sounds archaic, natra, refers to a weaving frame. It is also a distinct element of pre-Slavic tradition which had various defining terms in various parts of Serbia. Natra was exclusively used in western Serbia.” - excerpt from the curatorial text by Slađana Petrović Varagić
