| | Description | Join the UW Textile Graduate Research Cluster on a Field trip to the National Nordic Museum for a crafting happy hour with artist's prompts by the knitting artists Janelle & Lisa Iglesias.
We will join the crafting happy hour at the National Nordic Museum to celebrate the Nordic Knitting Conference and see the exhibit: M(other) Tongues: Bodhild and Las Hermanas Iglesias.
Janelle & Lisa Iglesias present virtually on the big screen to share an art project prompt inspired by their exhibit.
The reception begins at 5pm; refreshments and crafting supplies will be provided.
"The works in M(other) Tongues communicate a dialogic call and response between the family members, a back and forth visual conversation where abstract motifs are translated from one medium into another. The exhibition features an installation of hand-knit and woven works inspired by familial traditions—Bodhild’s mother’s rag rugs (matte), and the drawings and weavings of Anni Albers—who many consider the mother of modern textiles. Displayed on an architectural frame that can be seen from multiple angles, the intergenerational team privilege different visual perspectives, and highlight the process through which the works are made." -National Nordic Museum |
