As a prelude to the launch event for the Feminist Spatial Practices Web Platform, this workshop invites participants to co-create fluffy textile poofs that will transform the space at e-flux into an exploratory lounging environment. Referencing legacies of feminist and queer textile art, as well as communities of knitting and quilting circles, the event offers a moment of collective making and play. Participants will create soft textile objects that will support sitting and connecting during the launch event. During the workshop, prompts will be provided for discussing feminist practices in the built environment while making together. No training or skill is required–participants will be invited to create “fluffies” by knotting fabric strips onto soft armatures using provided recycled fabrics. Participants are also invited to bring any (clean) fabrics to use during the process. Join us for a workshop of collective creation and feminist ideation!
