Sunday, April 25 @ 2 PM EST – Macrame Memorial, with Shaina Garfield [Co-presented with Liminal Lab] The Macrame Memorial is an at-home ritual where you are invited to weave your own personal wall hanging. Each knot tied coincides with a provided prompt, such as “as you tie this knot, speak about a memory where your loved one made you laugh” or “as you tie this knot, tell yourself ‘Whatever I am feeling in the moment is okay.’” By the time you complete the wall hanging, you will have told the story of your grief and honored the deceased. Supplies needed: Macrame rope, Total about 80 feet (suggested 5mm thick), OR one old t-shirt*, Wooden dowel, stick**, or rod 1 foot long (suggested about 1/4 inch diameter), Scissors, Tape measure or yardstick.

Register via Zoom.

Presented as part of [Move Semantics]: Rules of Unfolding, facilitated by Elæ Moss & Jeff Kasper.

The Move Semantics Lab presents a series of weekly events in conjunction with the on site exhibition at EFA Project Space. Co-hosted by the curators, these virtual events provide a guided “tour” through [MS]:RU’s central themes, in conversation with featured artists and their projects. Additional artist-led workshops and programs along these themes will be offered weekly. All events have live captioning.
