Soft Tactics: Tailored Assemblies
In The Subversive Stitch, historian Rozsika Parker examines how weaving, once relegated to ideas of female domesticity, became a celebrated fine art practice and a critical form of knowledge production. This hands-on session begins with a discussion about weaving and other "soft knowledges" and their applications to architecture as ultra-thin material practices, representations of cultural identities, and forms of collective authorship.
Speakers: Stephanie Rae Lloyd (Assistant Professor, Rhode Island School of Design), Sam Sheffer (Critic, Rhode Island School of Design), Emily Ezquerro (Critic, Rhode Island School of Design), Emma Sheffer (Filmmaker, Channel Films).
4.30 pm - 5.30 pm
