About

Nanushka curates a spatial exploration of the Kopjafa. Originating from the Szèkely community’s memorial traditions, Kopjafa totems adorned warrior headstones, carved with symbols from an intricate motif system.

Exploring the experiential and physical intersection of modernity and heritage, Nanushka celebrates the craftsmanship, technique and tradition of these unique objects.

Visit Nanushka’s Bruton Street store and café to discover the story of the Kopjafa tradition. A physical, explorative installation walks visitors through the history, symbolism, craftsmanship and modernisation of this tradition, and expert craftspeople showcase how this symbolic graphic language is being revisited through traditional stone masonry and wood carving.
