“Craft and Dialog” are an ongoing project, a collaboration with local weavers on the Swedish island Öland. The goal is to create a series of works based on local Swedish craft in cooperation whit  Danish crafts and design. The project’s process, products and results will be exhibited in Sweden and Denmark via a series of exhibitions in summer and autumn 2023.

The initial part of the project started spring 2022, via a series of meetings on Öland between the project’s actors. The starting point for the initial meetings was a dialogue about textiles and the importance of craftsmanship in practicing craft. Conversations about the culture and history of textiles, about having materials in your hands, and what craftsmanship does for our mental health and well-being. The meetings quickly showed that a community emerged across actors, generations, and cultures. It became clear in the process that creating something together had a positive value beyond the product itself.
