OPENFEED-Yinkore

OPENFEED announces its first Virtual Residency, featuring the talented artist Yinkore. Her residency will focus on "Threaded Lineage," a captivating 3-5 piece visual art series that delves into the profound cultural, familial, and spiritual inheritance woven into the act of sewing. Yinkore's personal matrilineal story serves as the inspiration for this project, tracing the legacy of tailoring from her great-grandmother, who passed the skill to her grandmother, and subsequently to her mother, creating a rich tapestry of artistry and tradition.
