Workshop
Event information
By knitting together with your bodies, you will enter into an exchange with other visitors, the second-hand material and the method itself.
Together we will knit large textile structures that create space for encounters, envelop us, connect us with each other and explore the possibilities of a collective technique. We will learn about survival in the context of community, mutual aid and the influence of feminist texts that have strongly influenced this practice to knit soft spatial structures and social spaces together.
All you need are your hands and a desire to try things out. Anything that follows the shape of a line can be used as yarn. If you come across any materials, feel free to bring them along.

From a shared interest in textile materials and techniques, especially knitting, and curiosity about collectivity and collaborative work, the collective practice "social knitting" emerged in the Social Design Class of 2022.
