Esther Elia and I were invited by the Institute of Advanced Uncertainty, for a collaborative Residency at the Minnesota Street Projects in San Francisco, California. The residency traced Elia and my own familial histories through displayed photographs, previous work Elia and I had created in our own respective practices about home and homelands, as we collectively considered what is passed down generationally, recipes, photographs, books. We built a loom, dyed yarn with traditional natural dyes used in SWANA weaving textile and carpet making practices, and used much of our time untangling yarn with visitors while exchanging stories and poetry. The residency culminated with a community dinner where Elia and I cooked familial foods and invited guests with typed prompts to share stories about food, family and home. We hosted tea Tuesdays, which filled the gallery space with the smell of cardamom tea, and the residency concluded with an artist talk. The residency was formed with more concrete intentions around weaving textiles but grew into an active communally engaged space, weaving stories together.
