All are warmly invited to a hands-on textile workshop with visual and performance artist Miriro Mwandiambira, taking place on February 14 at 14:00. The event is free of charge and will be translated into Russian.
Participants are encouraged to bring unused cloth from home — curtains, bed linen, tablecloths, fabric pieces, or other household textiles. These materials often carry memories of everyday life and reflect women’s labour, care, and resilience.
Together, we will work closely with the gathered textiles through careful, repetitive gestures such as sewing, folding, sorting, and layering. The process becomes a shared experience — a gentle form of performative research where being together matters more than skills or experience.
This workshop is part of a collective process that will contribute to a growing communal textile installation created during Miriro’s residency. Born in Harare, Zimbabwe, Mwandiambira is a visual and performance artist whose work brings forms of “woman’s work,” such as sewing, fashion, and self-decoration, into contemporary art.
