Join us for an embroidery workshop with artist Marsil Andjelov Al-Mahamid. We recommend setting aside time to stay throughout the workshop, as embroidery is a time-consuming activity.
Embroider your «home»
Andjelov Al-Mahamid utilizes embroidery to set the mood for a creative meeting place. He calls these shared moments ‘Social Sculptures’, and the participants are encouraged to reflect on the meaning of having a place called home. Andjelov Al-Mahamid currently has a collection of over 200 ‘Social Sculptures’.
What is home for you?
