Full Moon POWERSTITCH with Ginger Brooks Takahashi: Nov 13

Full Moon POWERSTITCH with Ginger Brooks Takahashi
Thursday, November 13, 12pm- 7pm
New Museum, 235 Bowery
Museum as Hub, 5th floor (directions)

Ginger Brooks Takahashi’s quilting forum or “POWERSTITCH” employs traditional craft to de-formalize the exhibition space as productive community space. An ongoing project since 2004, an army of lovers cannot fail, has been shown and worked on all over North America. With its “harmless” motif of rabbits engaged in acts of physical play and sex, the quilt as an object of both work and display documents the participation of many while offering itself to new hands. As invited guests, friends, and visitors stitch the all-white quilt alongside participatory readings on privilege, sex, or society, the work affirms self-organized community formation with regards to ideas of camaraderie, intimacy, or solidarity.

As this POWERSTITCH is taking place on the full moon, please bring a text, story or poem to honor this lunar event. Quilting direction and supplies will be provided.
