Patterns as Poetic Practice: A Global Conversation Through Textile Cartographies
Exhibition UBC Vancouver, May 2024
Curators: Elly Yazdanpanah, Lei Chen and Anita Sinner
at the Asian Library on the University of British Columbia campus.
This exhibition, "Patterns as Poetic Practice", presents transnational, transdisciplinary activations – bringing us together with international partners around the world as a testament to the convergence of cultural heritage, creativity, and individual and communal narratives. Functioning as a hub for artistic exchange, these artworks are a confluence of voices – local artisans from our workshops and a global tapestry of textile artworks, all united by the power of pattern in which each stitch, each weave embodies a cultural thread, and a visual story traversing borders and continents. This exhibition embarks on a journey not just through space, but through time and cultural memory to celebrate the power of textile art as a process of thinking-making-doing with the threads that bind us.

In Bizkaia, this project is being coordinated by the Faculty of Education in Bilbao of the University of the Basque Country.
In this second exhibition, we continue to talk about and give visibility to the experiences of women: strong, fighting women who want to be visible, connect with the community, and bring to light the voices of women who are no longer with us. We have worked with university students, schools, women's associations, and platforms such as Ongi Etorri Errefuxiatuak. The opening day was a time for people to come together, collaborate on the installation of the exhibition, and share their experiences of the process. This process has also been recorded in sound format through recordings of the stories that the creation of the maps has inspired. Volunteer students from the Early Childhood Education degree at the Faculty of Education in Bilbao, the Master's Degree in Psychopedagogy, and students from the Aulas de la Experiencia and women from the participating groups have taken part.

Exhibition Mother Earth
The exhibition reveals the fascination of squares embroidered by different people, each author in her own way, with knowledge, skills and diverse experiences, based on the topic of Mother Earth. In each one of them, there is a process, a story, a desire, a decision and an action: a gentle manifestation about the challenges of Gaia, Words, plants, trees, animals, birds, blessings, calls, music, dance, poetry, encounters of human with other living beings, with the wealth of the earth in its different forms and dimensions.
The project Cartographies Texts is conducted in Brazil by the collective Sao Paulo | Minas, coordinated by Flavia Liberman, Marcia Moraes, Angélica Carvalho Lemos and Viviane Maximino, for the exhibition ‘Mother Earth’ they had the support of Alberto Costa.
In this exhibition the pieces express the relationship between the body, art and nature, and affirm a desire for continuity. Return to artisanal art, slow pace challenging our times of celerity and immediatism considering both the individual task and the collective aspect in the narrative. Composing embroideries also expresses this dimension of collaborative process that allowed countless experiences and learning.
The exhibition and the project as a micro political action is meant to share enchantment, strength, delicacy, care, poetry , beauty and sensitivity.
