Fils communs / Tissus partagés
October 2022 to January 2023
Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Artist: Maria Ezcurra, with the participation of the members of Tricoter ton tissu social
Curator: Dominique Fontaine
On the initiative of Dominique Fontaine, curator-in-residence 2022, Maria Ezcurra has designed a textile work in co-creation with the project "Tricoter son tissu social" of the Société Écocitoyenne de Montréal (SEM). The artist led a series of workshops inviting participants to respond to the current situation that demands benevolence and solidarity. This sculptural installation functions as an ecosystem in which each individual piece plays an important role. Our personal identities come together to create a collective representation of our sense of community. A joint initiative allowed three members of the Quilt Movement to (POM*, la Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto y TSTS) meet to share and exchange knowledge and experiences: the participants of POM/TAPAJ (Alternative Work Paid By the Day - supervised by the organization Spectre de rue) discovered knitting and the weavers discovered cyanotype photography.
Participants: Corinne, Sabrina, Carmel, Danielle Stibre, Lise Fontana, Christiane, Josée Cardinal, Sarah Cailhier, Élise Deschênes, Kinnara, Éva Sirois-Rivard, Roberte la grand-mère d'Éva, Dominique, Lilianne, Madeleine, Chloé L., Anne-Catherine, Alisha, Keyla, Sedra, Thibaut, Virginie, Raymonde Roberge, Sahar Glillen, Gabrielle Hughes, and Maggie, as well as all the people who knitted during the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Voies culturelles des Faubourgs at the Parc des Faubourgs on June 11, 2022.
