Social Tissue, 2023

Social Tissue is a participatory art piece that was performed at the Tate Modern Late, celebrating Women’s History Month in March 2023.

It is an interactive hand-knitting experience that celebrates a medium historically labelled as 'women's work'. Visitors were invited to learn how to knit and contribute to a growing blanket by using flesh-toned wool that mirrored the organic forms of internal tissue. Through the act of making as a group, we drew on the social tissue of collaboration and communion to create a living piece of art.

Social Tissue was conceived and delivered in collaboration with Rafaela Tellaeche.
