Reading,
shredding,
knitting
and
travelling
to
cities
around
the
world
enabled
Movana
to
share
intimate
stories
of
people
meet
in
the
journey.
In
this
ongoing
series
‘Travelling
into
your
bookshelf',
Movana
conducted
her
15th
stop:
Knitting
Conversations
at
Oi!.
It
had
no
limits
in
terms
of
time,
space,
place
or
format.
Through
meeting
friends
and
strangers
and
reading
their
books,
she
attempted
to
establish
relationships
with
them
and
exploring
their
memories
and
maintaining
a
two-way
communication.
Through
her
knitting
process
with
the
participants
around
the
neighborhood
of
North
Point
and
at
Oi!,
she
created
a
new
way
of
reading
and
enabling
the
viewers
to
re-examine
the
existing
communication
barriers
between
people.
Participants
joined
the
"Knitting
Conservation"
workshop
in
which
Movana
shared
her
cultural
experience
of
knitting
conversation
with
strangers
in
the
last
14
stops
around
the
world.
Participants
all
enjoyed
knitting
in
the
beautiful
sunny
weather
and
sparked
creative
inspirations
through
this
alternative
communication.
Stories,
novels
and
printed
matter
were
combined
into
a
single
flowing
piece
with
all
the
narratives
intertwined.
Through
the
repetitive
action
of
knitting
a
connection
has
been
forged,
and
together
with
participants
a
shared
space
is
initiated
and
entered
into.
This
space
allowed
for
personal
stories
and
feelings
to
be
gently
shared
with
exchanges
becoming
a
part
of
the
existing
texts.
As
layers
were
collaboratively
woven
into
these
existing
stories,
a
tapestry
evolved;
a
tapestry
of
shared
memories,
emotions
and
dreams.
It
was
full
of
adventures,
inspirations,
surprises,
and
energy:
everyone
was
connected.
