Wild basketry: collective creation in the MEG Garden
With vegetable fibres from different plants, you are invited to give life to collective forms. By weaving together in an intuitive way, gestures and words mingle to identify materials present in nature and to question their use and their role in craft and artistic practices. A way of inscribing a craft approach, basketry, in the urban space to better rethink our links with our environment.
This workshop is proposed by the visual artist Nathan Willerval. In his artistic work, he approaches weaving instinctively. Once the material has been collected, he uses this art to create contemporary forms. For this workshop, he will be accompanied by the visual artist Johan Rosset.
This event takes place on the first Sunday of the month and is therefore free of charge and requires no prior registration.
Through this series of meetings "to think and act" we would like to discuss with you the issues of the climate emergency through the prism of the specificities of the MEG. By tackling themes such as care, repair, food, clothing, or the transmission of knowledge and know-how, we wish to make the impact that our daily actions can have on the environment perceptible and thus question our relationship with it. By collaborating with you and people who are active and committed to climate and environmental issues, by interviewing experts, artists, representatives of indigenous peoples, or even craftspeople and creative people, we offer you a programme of activities that provide practical tools for action and reflection, accessible and useful to all.
