Eleven textile works by students at Handarbetets Vänner Skola bring textile craft into conversation with contemporary art and life science at The Cell. Ten students on the school’s advanced textile craft programme started from the same brief: to create an individual embroidery artwork on one square metre. Their responses draw on WE, the third part of The Cell’s Me, You, We exhibition series, which examines people as a collective.
Visitors can also add stitches to a shared embroidery, measuring 75 by 225 centimetres, which will develop during the exhibition. No prior experience is needed, and materials are provided. The project asks what happens when individual actions become something shared, and who shapes the whole when everyone leaves a mark.
Tekniska museet presents the exhibition at The Cell, its Hagastaden venue for meetings between art, science and philosophy. The exhibition remains on view through the winter, and the shared embroidery concludes at a closing event near the end of January.
