Maps have long been instruments of control; used by navigators as tools to
impose order, hierarchy, and ownership. What happens when we reclaim that act
of mapping with thread rather than lines, with touch rather than coordinates?
Embroidery, often dismissed as a domestic craft, becomes a radical medium
here- soft yet subversive, intimate yet insistent. Each stitch is a claim to
belonging, a quiet act of resistance against rigid definitions of place. The
artists use this tactile language to explore how urban spaces are imagined,
built, and inhabited- not just by planners and politicians, but by the people
who live in them, move through them, and make them home.
