Projects / The Pandanus Project 2008-2011

02.02.2011 to 18.02.2011

The Pandanus Project showcases fibre works resulting from a 3 year artistic exchange between weavers from the Beswick community and fibre artist Adrienne Kneebone. The artists worked with Adrienne to develop new work , ideas and techniques and easily adapted to contemporary fibre art forms, fusing traditional knowledge with their new skills. This project will be used as a platform for future projects and to raise awareness of fibre as a sustainable medium in contemporary art. The Pandanus Project was invited to exhibit in the Indonesian International Fibre Art exhibition. The collaberative nature of the cultural exchange evident in TPP was focused on and written about in the catalogue.
