A bit about
​Weaving Wishes & Knots

Ryijy: weaving wishes depicts belonging and cultural diversity. The material collected will later be used to make a Finnish traditional rug, a ryijy, composed of public secrets.

Knots / Solmuja is a series of workshops and exhibitions using a methodology developed by Arlene that allows one to better understand our inner worlds by using knots as a means to open dialogue.

Tucker (TW/USA/FI) is a visual artist, inspired by translation studies she finds ways to connect and make meaning in our shared environments.
