This workshop invites community members to participate in a creative
process that involves writing and knitting to express their memories and
feelings about the city of Mont-Dauphin and surroundings. The participants
will contribute their personal memories on textiles, creating a collective
artwork that captures the essence of the area. This collaborative work aims
to document individual experiences and build a shared memory of
Mont-Dauphin, emphasizing the significance of personal narratives in
shaping the identity and history of a place.
The workshop invites the participants to engage in the process of creating,
knitting, and mapping the connecting thread that represents their memories
and words about Mont-Dauphin and surroundings. By using both writing and
knitting as mediums of expression, participants can visually and textually
document their experiences, emotions, and perceptions of the city.
Pariahs' intervention aims to uncover these connecting threads across
Europe so far and to synthesize the thematic and aesthetic of how marginal
stories form centers and places in forbidding and difficult times. Through
a comparative lens , participants can draw parallels between their own
memories of Mont-Dauphin and the larger tapestry of interconnected
narratives that define our shared cultural heritage.
Join us on 24th of February and co-create with Lilit Stepanyan the
collective artwork of our memories. Take that thread, pen or memory item
(photos) and join the workshop to document your personal memories on
textiles, build the collective memory of the city and participate in this
creative process
