Because Brussels is the capital of Europe, the place where leaders decide Bruges is welcoming an international lace congress in August 2018 As tatting is nearly not known is Belgium and not considered as lace or art, the congress and the 'Tat a monument in pink lace' is a big opportunity to put the focus on tatting and on women's rights.
