SUMMARY:Intro to Modern Bojagi with Emma Goudie - Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Emma Goudie with co-facilitator Lara Ahmed for Intr
 o to Modern Bojagi! Working in pairs\, participants are invited to reflect 
 on our current exhibitions and engage in collaborative art-making\, in this
  workshop led by artist and Esker Programs and Volunteer Coordinator\, Emma
  Goudie and artist Lara Ahmed. Participants will learn about the history\, 
 cultural significance\, and modern sewing techniques of Korean wrapping clo
 ths\, bojagi 보자기 \, in this introductory lesson to a centuries-old cr
 aft. Traditionally made from leftover fabric scraps\, bojagi involves pieci
 ng together textiles to create something new and meaningful. Crafts such as
  bojagi embody traditional matrilineal knowledge with skills passed down th
 rough making rather than through language. For Zadie Xa\, the use of bojagi
  situates her practice within a historical lineage of craft production and 
 honours the women in her life. All materials and tools will be provided\, a
 nd participants are encouraged to bring their own fabrics from home\, espec
 ially materials with personal significance or pieces they wish to reuse\, a
 s they gather and work together to explore contemporary sewing techniques a
 nd the expressive potential of cloth as a form of storytelling and connecti
 on. Registration essential. Best suited for ages 16 and over. Important not
