Meetup | Louise Bourgeois: Fiber and Materiality

11/06/2025 11:00 AM - 11/13/2025 12:30 PM ET

Description

This meetup invites artists and thinkers alike to engage with Louise Bourgeois’s legacy while experimenting with their own creative responses in fiber. We’ll examine how she used humble, domestic materials to create powerful sculptural expressions of memory, identity, and the body. Through guided discussions and hands-on material explorations, participants will also consider broader questions within fiber arts.

Discussion prompt example: How did Bourgeois use fiber to evoke psychological or bodily states?

Dates: Thursdays, November 6 and November 13 from 11 am - 12:30 pm Eastern time (convert timezone)
