Other information:

Between December 5-11 textile designer and artistic researcher Rosa Tolnov Clausen is visiting Haparanda-Tornio, as part of Luleå Art and Craft Biennale and in collaboration with Aine Art Museum, Haparanda municipality and Resurscentrum för konst.

Rosa Tolnov Clausen’s practice focus on how to make hand-weaving visible and accessible in contemporary urban contexts. In the shopping center Rajalla she will set up a project called the Weaving Kiosk.

The Weaving Kiosk is a public space where weaving tools and materials are made available for anyone to use. Together with the tools and materials, collections of weaving samples and readily designed product proposals are presented that have their base in traditional Nordic weaving techniques. Using these for inspiration or as production guidelines, participants in the Weaving Kiosk can choose to remake an example from among them, or explore by their own choice of yarns and techniques their adaptation into products of their liking. This way, products that relate to individual purposes and needs can be freely created.

In addition to the drop-in mode of the Kiosk we would like to invite groups of students from local design and art educations to visit the Kiosk. Therefore, if you would like to visit between December 5-9, between 1-7pm please let us know.
