BENAKI MUSEUM/GHIKA GALLERY PRESENTS KILIMS FROM GERAKI, LACONIA

At the Ghika Gallery, Geraki’s weaving tradition feels anything but old, it’s vivid, vibrating, and full
of life. These kilims, some centuries old, mix everyday stories with striking symbols, showing
people, landscapes, and a sense of pride woven straight into the fabric. Once luxury items that
signaled status, they’ve traveled from village homes to international exhibitions, and now land
here with all their energy intact. It’s less about looking back and more about seeing how a small
mountain village made something timeless and an art doesn’t just survive, but keeps speaking
across centuries.
