TEXT/TEXTILE; crocheting for beginners in critical theory

For her project TEXT/TEXTILE, artist Vita Buivid organizes a series of workshop-gatherings during which she invites volunteers to collectively work on a large crocheted artwork and discuss topics such as ageism, resilience and longevity. Together, participants work through the social fabric of our time and knit together the spaces that seem to separate us from each other. The end result, large crocheted panels with inserted texts, will be presented at the year’s end in the chapel of HMK. 

Knowledge of crocheting is not required, and you don’t have to prepare for the topics being discussed - they will be introduced during the workshop-gatherings. You can decide for yourself if you want to join for one, several or all sessions. They are organised every other two weeks, on a Thursday afternoon, from 15:00 to 17:00, starting 12 May. Coffee, tea, fruits and biscuits are provided, free of charge. With good weather, you can use the semi-private courtyard to have a break and get to know your fellow crocheters.
