Workshop on Hydro-rugging: Stitching Care Across Water Bodies
Advertisement
This participatory workshop led by South African scholar Aaniyah Martin invites attendees into the practice of hydro-rugging - a collective, slow, and embodied method of stitching stories of water, memory, and care.
Please note that the places for the workshop are limited. Please email Riikka (Riikka.prattes [a] uib.no) to register.
About the workshop:
Working with reclaimed materials such as fabric offcuts and beach plastic, participants are guided to create small textile pieces while reflecting on their own relationships with water, whether personal, ancestral, or imagined.
Hydro-rugging draws on feminist care ethics, Indigenous knowledge practices, and research-creation methodologies, positioning making as a form of thinking and healing. As individual pieces are created, they are brought into relation with one another, forming a collective “Mother Hydro-rug” that holds diverse narratives and experiences.
The workshop offers a space for listening, storytelling, and quiet making, foregrounding care as both a personal and collective practice that extends across human and more-than-human worlds.
