PIXELACHE PUBLIC MEETING #3 - SEW A QUILT, TALK CONFLICT

Pixelache's Public Meetings are a new event format for Pixelache in which we open our previously private monthly meetings to the Public in the development of our further programming. For the remainder of 2019, a selection of our membership presents new projects, experiments and research for Pixelache that is open to experience by both members and non-members.

Number three in our Public Meetings series will take place in partnership with Publics, the curatorial agency with a dedicated library, event space and reading room in Vallila Helsinki.

This month's meeting will be lead by Pixelache member Vishnu Vardhani and is titled "Sew a Quilt, Talk Conflict.

"LET’S SEW A QUILT, TALK ABOUT CONFLICT."

Quilt = A quilt is a multi-layered textile, traditionally composed of at least three layers of fibre. (fabric)

Sew = join, fasten, or repair (something) by making stitches with a needle and thread.

Conflict = be incompatible or at variance.

Quilt embodies diverse, mismatched, incompatible pieces of cloth to form a single entity that provides comfort.

With this session of Vishnu wants to address how a restorative act such as sewing surface the nuances of the embodiment of conflict.

Through this work, Vishnu wants to address the textured expressions of conflict, normalise conversations around conflict, to identify it, name it, to navigate towards restoration.

‘Sew a quilt, talk Conflict’ is an ongoing research project.
