Truly an interesting exhibition, the unorthodox use of fibre arts is probably which makes it so different. Stereotypes are meant to be used - 'boring + traditional' crafts can be used to emphasize non-boring and non-traditional contents. And they're interesting to look at :)

I really loved the needlepoint works (I had to research, I only remember goblin stickerei from my grandmother, but not vividly. I had no clue how it is done) and the even surface it creates. I fear it is very time intensive and so not meant for me (to try), but I still ponder it.
And on the other hand, I am not very (read: zero) learned in fibre art at all (although I studied art history) which I have to remedy.
I learnt cross-stitch at school and never did any other kind of embroidery. Like sewing by hand, it's nothing I enjoy.
Sewing by hand 🤢🤢 It should be forbidden to speak it out aloud. Ok, after intensive consideration, needlepoint died :-DDD
Sometimes I consider looking for someone to sew in the ends of my projects. Once a month for an hour - I'd pay good money for that ;)
I cannot remember where I read it, but in the USA are services who finish your knitwear (or maybe I dreamed it?)
