Deborah Kruger has been invited to present a solo exhibition at the Civico Museo Parisi Valle on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy—an exceptional honor for a woman textile artist. The exhibition, EXTINCTIONS, is curated by Barbara Pavan, widely recognized as Italy’s leading textile curator.
This powerful new body of work combines sculpted heads of endangered birds with Kruger’s signature hand-crafted feathers, highlighting species at risk—including those native to northern Italy. The result is an exhibition that connects global environmental urgency with a deeply local narrative.
