Are these really souvenirs?
Or mass market?
Or are they still unique and inimitable, but "other" works of art?
Or maybe this is a challenge to a patriarchal society, where plates, dishes, clothes, etc. are not just something applied, understandable, down-to-earth, "for women" or for the kitchen?

But these objects are something completely different, capable of changing the patriarchal system from the inside, filling its everyday environment with gentle and intelligent battle.
