Sunday Workshop in the spirit of Lee Mingwei

Many of you in Malmö have contributed to Lee Mingwei’s exhibition “Best Regards, Lee Mingwei”. Textile objects or garments carrying special meaning — and the stories that come with them — have become part of the exhibition.

Lee Mingwei describes the Malmö contributions to “Fabric of Memory”:

— The stories are hauntingly beautiful — each with its own tone, its own resonance. What moves me most about this collection is how the objects reveal the bonds between grandmothers, mothers, and daughters — those ancient, deeply powerful female relationships. As I read the stories, vivid memories of my own grandmother and mother came flooding back. Two women who have been my greatest guides — not only in my work, but throughout my life. Their strength, their tenderness, their presence still carry me. In the same way, these stories carry their owners — and continue to shine through them.

What’s your object? Your memory?
In the Workshop, we explore Lee Mingwei’s art in a playful way, creating with inspiration from “Fabric of Memory”. Can art be about encountering another person, about giving and receiving, about remembering? Let’s find out!
