happy calm knitting
Happy Calm Knitting (2015 – present) was started as a collaborative project between myself and Mattina Hiwazi in 2015, with the intention of creating a space for therapeutic craft, that put emphasis on process rather than product. This was an attempt to share the coping mechanism we had found in attempting to survive an arts university environment that encouraged self exposure and endurance without the support of community care, often to the detriment of its students’ health.
