Integrate Art Society presents Wayward Weaving

The following is excerpted from Integrate Art Society.

In this workshop, participants will use basketry techniques to weave with invasive plant species and other natural materials. The workshop will situate weaving in a communal setting as an embodied practice that considers our connections and responsibilities to land and environment. During the workshop we will explore how these practices can be part of reconsidering and interpreting ancestral skills in the current moment. Estraven will share how they connect with their own cultural practices, and critically engage with having a land based practice as an uninvited guest on unceded Indigenous territory.

Estraven Lupino-Smith is a queer and non-binary trans artist, researcher, and educator born in Dish with One Spoon territory to an Italian and Scottish family. Their practice is interdisciplinary, informed by their creative and critical engagements with human interactions in our environments: natural, cultural, and constructed. Through the embodied practice of weaving, Estraven considers the entanglements of materials and place, the relationships between humans, landscapes, settlement, and the shifting of landscape through the seasons.
