Welcoming threads to the Karoo
using art and artisinal practies to tell stories of our shared heritage
We are so honoured to be welcoming 'threads' by Kate Otten to the Karoo. We can't wait to display this masterpiece in the Dwarsvlei Shearing Shed at the Karoo Winter Wool Festival. This is a truly unique opportunity to bring the story of threads to the heart of the Karoo for all to enjoy.
"Hosted by La Biennale di Venezia, La Biennale Architecturra is one of the world’s most prestigious architectural events, attracting a multitude of diverse academics, practitioners, writers and critics from around the world, to present, discuss and debate a broad range of ideas through the architectural lens. The curator of the 2023 exhibition was Scottish-Ghanian architect, academic and novelist, Professor Lesley Lokko OBE - the first Black architect appointed by La Biennale di Venezia to lead the event. Kate Otten Architects was honoured to have been invited to participate in this prestigious event.
In response to the invitation and brief from the curator, Lesley Lokko, and through the lens of how we conceptualise and make architecture, we have designed a piece called ‘threads’. This architectural installation tells a visual story of Johannesburg, the city where our work as architects takes place. It is a story about how gold came to be here, the mining thereof and the outcomes of this process, narrated by women through different weavings and readings that describe this long history.
We have designed, crafted and drawn the various parts of the piece and then worked closely with two creative collectives, namely The Herd Designs and Frances vH, for the realisation of the work. It speaks to our intuitive and collaborative mode of making architecture where colour, light and pattern are important elements in our expression as well as the tactile act of making by hand. ‘threads’ offers different ways of seeing, creating new opportunities for making place for the future that nurtures the human spirit. "
Threads will be open for all Karoo Winter Wool Festival goers to enjoy!
More information about KWWF 2024 comming soon! In the meantime, take a look at everything that people are saying about their time at the 2023 last year.
