A temporary, outdoor, public art sculptural installation … UNWEAVING explores the ways tradition, culture, communities, and individuals are unwoven when we are disconnected from our foundation of ancestral history (ie.when we don’t know our stories or when truths are suppressed or not acknowledged.) A different unweaving can loosen us from perpetuating unconscious pattern behaviors, make sense of our position in the larger social fabric, and enable reweaving a more honest and equitable future.
Artist Tia Keobounpheng says she came unraveled about six years ago.
But in the process of embracing "unweaving," she started asking herself questions like:
What would happen if I let go of binary labels like “good/bad” and “right/wrong” ?
What is keeping me from seeing all that I cannot see?
What happens if I let go of needing to be right?
The answers to those questions can be found - partly - in her new public art installation UNWEAVING.
