LEARN MORE: Embracing Connections Workshop with Northwest Noggin

Join artist Kindra Crick and NW Noggin in the gallery for a delightful workshop exploring brain cell regeneration to complement TextileX’s 2022 theme. NW Noggin will bring brains and offer a hands-on art project creating a network of neurons using fabric and sewing textiles. Regeneration and learning reestablish and creates new connections in our minds.

The human mind with its 86 billion neurons is a resilient force for adaptation and regeneration through its ever-changing landscape of connections. In magnifying and re-imagining these hidden molecular structures, multimedia artist Kindra Crick aims to evoke wonder and offer an imagined vision of the spectacular biological machinery which comprises the very core of our memories, sensations, thoughts and our essential sense of self.
