FABRIC COLLECTIVE
I was invited by Germaine Koh to be part of her community based collective, its an opportunity to work with other artist with the intention of exchanging skills and knowledge.
Banners of Inclusion
Events: Car free :Festival.2008-2014,
Events: Vines Art Festival.2022
This project is a collaboration, celebrating the world’s rich linguistic diversity that resides in Vancouver, an interactive installation, involving participants in the creation of the artwork, offering the possibility for free expression and social connection within a public domain.
Using figurative speech to write on fabric, highlights the unique graphics, in written language, calling attention to its aural perception and oral history tethered to its culture. This act of writing becomes a tangible performative human experience that has touch, movement, voice, and facial expressions. The individual banners become part of collections of dialects, that are installed at Public events.The project is ongoing.
This community endeavour began in 2008 as a part of the Local Car free festival events, it is an ongoing project that was part of the Vine Art festival in Vancouver, in August of 2022.
