Museion presents JOINING PATTERNS: Stitch and leave a mark!, an innovative project realized in collaboration with Patternhouse.org, and curated by Brita Köhler and Martina Drechsel. The initiative, part of the collateral program of the exhibition AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS Works from the Enea Righi Collection, will run from Nov. 14 to Dec. 12, 2024 at Atelierhaus Museion. The event offers a series of creative workshops and talks with experts to promote awareness about the importance of mental health and cultural well-being.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore the design project methodology developed by Patternhouse.org, which supports the rehabilitation process of people with mental health issues by using embroidery as a creative tool. The workshops are open to anyone and everyone, with no prior skills required, and aim to build confidence in one’s creativity and raise awareness of the importance of taking care of one’s mental health.
During the event, the participants will help make handcrafted pillows, created in part by and for users of the Casa Basaglia psychiatric rehabilitation center in Merano. The pillows will be on sale at Museion’s Shop from Dec. 12, 2024, and proceeds will support the work of the Casa Basaglia center and the Patternhouse project.
