Radical Cross-stitch gathering

Radical Cross-stitch at Museum of Impossible Forms on Tuesday 5th of October from 5pm to 7pm.

‍

Radical cross-stitch is part of the craftivist movement, showing that feminist activism can take many forms, including craft. The workshops want to bring forth cross-stitch as an art form, show its versatility, as well as its ability to be political and radical. The gatherings follow the form of feminist sewing circles, being also a place for relaxed socializing and discussion.

The gatherings are free of charge and open for all. It does not matter if you have no previous experience, or have already done a lot, guidance is available depending on one’s own needs. There will be a selection of materials provided, you can also bring your own. Feel free to also bring with you and work on unfinished embroidery, knitting or crochet works.

It will help you to get started if you have already thought about the text or image you would want to do. Or you can select from the samples already provided. There will also be books and other guides available.

WELCOME!
