Weave In, Weave Out:
A Disability Socially Engaged Art Exhibition
Curated by Amanda Cachia with Intertwine Arts
Combining performance, installation, and live social sculpture, Weaving In, Weaving Out is a major exhibition hosted by Positive Exposure of site-specific fiber work by contemporary disabled artists from Intertwine Arts. The title of the exhibition alludes to the spatial nature of the exhibition, where visitors are encouraged to come and go within the space, or drop in or out, over the two-month duration that the gallery has become a live social sculpture, or a socially engaged art practice. Intertwine Arts is a non-profit organization based in New York which brings free-form weaving to people of all ages with developmental, mental and physical disabilities and chronic illness. The organization facilitates art-weaving workshops with organizations that include AHRC, Visions, HeartShare, Greenwich House and the YAI Without Walls program. The exhibition is open for appointment where visitors can engage in learning how to weave at the loom while working alongside Intertwine artists in the gallery space.
