Open Studio: Weavers Are Poets, Poets Are Weavers

08 pm – 10, Fri 20 June 2025
Room T3.1 [Floor 3], COMPLEX 01
29 lane 31 alley 31, Lane 29, Đống Đa, Hà Nội

From the organizer:

An immersive installation tracing the intertwined stories of three Mường weaving communities — where tradition is surviving, transforming, or fading into memory.

Through video, sound, embroidery, and textile, artists Kyd Torato and Liv Gloria explore how identity, resistance, and cultural memory are held — and felt — in thread.

This collaborative work was produced in Hòa Bình as part of the Vietnam leg of the AIRAsia Cross-Residency Program.

AIRAsia is an initiative of Green Papaya Art Projects, in partnership with ba-bau AIR and Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts and Culture, supported by Mercedes Zobel.
