Currently on view, Movana Chen: Knitting Conversations is a monumental installation by artist Movana Chen reflecting on female labour, personal and shared memories, material transformation, and time. Originally conceived as a participatory work, Knitting Conversations was first exhibited in 2013 where audience members were invited to contribute to the work by bringing along a treasured book to shred into yarn, as the artist and participants knitted and conversed. This August, Movana Chen invites visitors to participate and exchange personal stories under the installation, experiencing a unique connection with others.
Artist Movana Chen will be facilitating the experience at M+ on designated weekends on 17, and 18 August, 14:00–17:30.
The event is free for valid exhibition ticket holders. Please retain a copy of your ticket to facilitate your entry to the gallery. Please see 'Get Tickets' for details. Participants are invited to bring a map that can be shredded to participate in the public workshop.
