6th BIENNAL D’AGULLA I FIL
Sewing as a form of writing and other contemporary incisions

The 6th Biennal d’Agulla i Fil is the work process of Medizine (Jess Espinoza) about sewing as a form of writing and other contemporary incisions, developed as part of the Loom programme of Living In-between, in collaboration with Ateneu L’Harmonia.

From the Biennal d’Agulla i Fil’s nomad office, the Medizine group invites locals and anyone else interested, to take part in the collaborative textile research and creation process Biennal d’Agulla i Fil.

Different generations will come together to chat, sew and draw about subjects ranging from current regulations on labour rights for domestic handicrafts (dressmakers, self-employed, designers, craft production) to work-related musculoskeletal problems, remembering local proverbs and stories based on the daily fabric. All this will evolve in the creation of a radio programme, design of fanzines and work with screen printing.

On 28 February, as of 20:00, the work process will commence with the inauguration of a sample of previous projects and will take place at the Ateneu L’Harmonia and on the ground floor of the Fabra i Coats Contemporary Art Centre.
