15 SWEDISH EMBROIDERERS WENT TO COPENHAGEN

They brought the Mahila-made banner with them. And it was very sucessful!




 
 All were very interested to see the images about the life in the village! Thank you all Mahilas in Bhil Basti!

NO MORE WAR

WORLD EMBROIDERY DAY

VÄRLDSBRODERIDAGEN

firades i år i många hörn av världen. Sydafrika, England, Danmark, Rumänien, USA. Indien, och på många ställen i Sverige.
Vi var 4 artister som träffades i all enkelhet på Kafé Olivia på Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad, KKV- Bohuslän och satt några timmar och stygnade.
...was celebrated this year in many corners of the world. South Africa,England, Denmark, Romania, USA, India and in many places in Sweden.
Here in Gerlesborg where I live we were 4 artists that met in the café in our Artists Collective Workshop. We had a nice time together with our embroideries.


Manifesto
for World Embroidery Day 30th of July
Textile reflects our world; embroideries can show the expressions of our time. Embroidery and textiles can focus on the social injustices between countries.
By the means of embroidery we can draw attention to the necessity of engaging in the force of textile in global trade and with it in world peace. Textiles is a power and let us use embroidery as an inspiration for people to engage in creativity that leads to a better understanding between countries and between people.
To embroider is a peaceful occupation. It can be traditional made from a common remembrance, drawn designs, from a pattern, or from your own imagination. You em- broider for joy, beauty, decoration and for the creation of identity.
Stitches can be decorative, beautiful, comforting, repeating, healing, telling, plea- surable, rebellious, caressing and perfect.
People embroider out of joy, as a hobby, professionally, for the bare necessities of life and as an act of freedom. You embroider together with others or in meditative soli- tude.
We want to acknowledge embroidery as an act of free creativity, which can lead to free, creative thoughts and ideas. We want to tie our embroidery threads from the privi- leged northern hemisphere together with stiches that are sewn by embroidering sisters and brothers all over the world.
We want to be part of a joyfully creative peace movement.
The initiative came from Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild. The first World Embroidery Day took place in Vismarlöv, 30th July 2011. The importance of embroidery must be made known and World Embroidery Day will spread around the world. Make 30th July a day filled with creativity for the sake of Peace, Freedom and Equality.
