Description
This workshop’s plan follows that of the places where we have our first lived experienced, as a precursor to the making of a jewel. The mnemonic home embroidered in details that make a person…The ornament made of our personal memories merged into the cultural, the subconscious and the impulsive. This jewel will take the original plan of our home, the one that we carry in our memory, in all our displacements and migrations, the home that we miss! It is the one where our language was formed, our imaginary, the one that often reappears in our dreams. This house, whenever we find it again in reality, will always be stronger in our minds. It is here that the chapters of our lives were written When we carry it across space and time in our memories in our bodies, what shines through this mnemonic home becomes a personal history through which we connect to the histories of the world. Jewels are made by folding, weaving, and writing, intertwined objects, worn, inhabited, displayed. A workshop at the crossroads of our imaginaries, our routes, where our lives are precious.
