It is an exhibition about what textile already is or could be if we turn our gaze away from its most recognisable elements and see it in the much wider field of contemporary art. At the same time, it is an attempt to imagine the Department of Textile Art and Design as a person, to reconstruct its features from individual details, traces and stories. The title of the exhibition refers, with gentle humour, both to this implied character and to the hypothetical bee goddess Austėja, associated with honeycomb weaving, which can be seen as a prototype of textile.
