Carpet-making is a collective handcraft in Central Asia that can bring together individuals of diverse backgrounds for cooperative work, discussion and exchange of opinions.
Join this experimental workshop led by London-based Kazakh artist Madina Zholdybekova to gather, discuss and create a collective artwork on parenthood – an important issue to the artist that has been under-discussed. Zholdybekova will first guide participants in an open discussion on the hidden aspects of parenthood, before instructing participants on how to use a tufting gun to translate the group’s insights into a manifesto in the form of tufted embroidery. Aside from working on the collective artwork, participants will also take home a punch needle work as souvenir to commemorate the experience.
The programme happens on the occasion of Clouds, Power and Ornament – Roving Central Asia on view at CHAT from 25 February to 21 May 2023.
