ThreaDNA: personal archive pictures embroidery x collaging
ThreaDNA is a workshop intended to take the participants on a journey through their legacy, to embroider another layer of their family (chosen or blood related) onto their archive photographs.
Participants are taken through narrative exercises to share the story that’s behind the instant captured by the camera, what that anecdote makes them feel, how they can resignify it, and in that act, resignify their own stories.
They will be provided with tracing paper, thread, and other collaging materials like flower petals, paints, sequins, and markers. And then given time and help to embroider and collage their vision on their photographs.
