Natalia Ducantoni
Co-founder of the Lev I Vishnya Cultural Center in Gorodets
Lev I Vishnya is a cultural center that allows for creative experimentation, informal socializing and events. The cultural center hosts tours, creative workshops, discussions, and other cultural events. In December 2022, the center launched a new project called the Folk Costume Showroom: a space where you can not only examine and touch folk costumes in detail, but also try them on. Additionally, the showroom features modern designs based on folk costumes. Part of the collections of both folk and designer clothing can be purchased or made to order. In December 2022 Natalia and the Folk Costume Showroom project team were awarded a letter of appreciation from the Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region for their contribution to the development of creative industries in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
