Embroider Yourself

A project that sets out to document anger through the use of hand embroidery. It took the form of open sessions around tables set up in public spaces in different towns and cities. Passers-by were welcome to sit down and create an embroidery reflecting their rage. The project continued until the new words that appeared on the fabric became illegible. Since 2011, more than 2,000 people in Europe and Asia have “embroidered themselves” in a variety of languages: Turkish, Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, German, Polish, French, English, Japanese, Romanian, Slovenian, Greek, Ukrainian, Chinese, Mandarin, and Dutch. The project has been carried out and presented at several exhibitions and projects in Poland and abroad.
