Tight Knit: The Fabric of Connection
Shaked Gozlan
13 February–9 March, Gallery Two
Tight Knit: The Fabric of Connection explores the creation of tradition and community through the lens of knitting, a familial and universal act woven in love and purpose.
This body of work involves various knitted sculptures, including a collaborative community focused installation, poetry and video. Influenced by human connection, The Stitch knitting group’s community blanket has encouraged the notion of building and rebuilding through art making processes.
Thread — Tangles/detangles
Naarm Textile Collective
14 March–6 April
Thread — Tangles/detangles brings together work by artists from the Naarm Textile Collective who explore the possibilities of thread in their work. Each artist will use their unique perspective and textile discipline to follow a different thread, wherever it may lead them.
The exhibition explores tangible and intangible connections, processes and techniques. Transformed through knitting, weaving, looping and stitching, threads carry significant personal and cultural narratives. It aims to
encourage viewers to rethink their relationship to thread, be aware of its materiality, its possibilities and limitations.
Setareh Hosseini. Emigrabilia
14 March–6 April, Gallery Two
Themes of migration and cultural identity are explored in Emigrabilia through a powerful series of digital photographs and video art.
Memories are powerful elements that shape a part of our personality. These memories sometimes include people and sometimes objects around us. Although it is assumed that we are the ones who give meaning
to the things around us, by being separated from them, we understand how important they are in our lives.
