"All-day POWERSTITCH with Ginger Brooks Takahashi" Workshop
The New Museum of Contemporary Art
This event has ended.
Ginger Brooks Takahashi’s quilting forum or “POWERSTITCH” employs traditional craft to de-formalize the exhibition space as productive community space. An ongoing project since 2004, an army of lovers cannot fail has been shown and worked on all over North America. With its “harmless” motif of rabbits engaged in acts of physical play and sex, the quilt as an object of work and display documents the participation of many while offering itself to new hands. As invited guests, friends, and visitors stitch the all-white quilt alongside participatory readings on privilege, sex, or society, the work affirms self-organized community formation with regards to ideas of camaraderie, intimacy, or solidarity.
Please bring some text to read aloud to share with other quilters as well as your favorite sewing accoutrement: thimble, needle, etc. Quilting direction and supplies will be provided.
