Shared Snood was about community, history, knowledge exchange and feminism - with a wink and a nod to the stereotypes around macramé and 1970’s feminists.
Hosted in a community cottage by Artist Run Space, Ōtautahi Kōrerotia, this community engaged project saw the making of an art object and a conscious space for exchanging ideas and experiences over six weeks.

The project had three parts:
︎A weekly event which shared the history of feminism with casual talks by a variety of folx, followed by discussion and shared kai.
︎ During the events, all present worked on a giant macramé soft sculpture.
︎The snood went on to operate in performances and installation in various spaces as a residue of the events and a collaborative reading list was compiled as part of the event.
