This exhibition presents an interactive installation exploring weaving as a practice of connection, sharing, and co-creation. Participants join a collective circle and contribute from their own positionalities to a living artwork—a telar (loom) that gradually takes shape through shared gestures, stories, and materials. Weaving is approached not only as an artistic practice but as a way of reflecting on knowledge and care as relational, situated, and collectively sustained.

The installation is part of a travelling project initiated in Colombia and developed in Amsterdam, now continuing in a new setting. The space invites open, flexible participation, encouraging reflection and encounter. Guided by an ethic of care, the workshop fosters connections between people, narratives, and silences, building a collective fabric across contexts.

About the maker:

Marta Bonfanti (Kalipso Video Art) is a visual artist who creates immersive environments through projections, live visuals, and participatory installations, transforming spaces into sensorial experiences where audiences become part of the artwork. Her practice activates architecture and shared spaces with warmth, play, and collective energy.

Maurizia Mezza is a medical anthropologist exploring how knowledge, care, and inequality are produced in global health. Working across research, art, and participatory methods, she engages diverse communities to understand how experiences become evidence. Her work approaches care as a relational process, attending to what is made (in)visible and how knowledge is shaped through the senses.
