In this embroidery workshop, we invite you to participate in a talking circle and needlework during which artists Eugenia Reznik, Patil Tchilinguirian and Ginnifer Menominee will be sharing with you their stitching skills, weaving together their stories, as you invest yourself in the creation of an embroidery project to take home. Inspired by the themes around the displacement of peoples and uprootedness conveyed in the current exhibition Unweave, Unveil: Chiral Landscapes of Exile, the three artists have designed a unique pattern tying together traditional plants such as flax, forget-me-not flower (Myosotis) and wild rice (Manoomin), to symbolize both their individual and collective journeys on this land.
Join us in this unique and intimate experience during which you will learn split embroidery stitching as well as (re)connect to the histories carried within.
