Every year, we design one edition in one country.
We co-create editions of clothes. and what is interesting is the whole creative and research process to do that actually raises issues. We produce photos, videos, podcasts, that is the content for the exhibitions in the museums.
The 1st Edition was in Greece 2018 with 20 women named the “Yayas” (Grandmother in Greek). The goal was to talk about the transmission of craft. We understood how knitting can become an opportunity for social bonding with time.
In 2019, in Tunisia, we recalled the issues related to the status of women in Tunisia through clothing. The upcycled pieces echoed the key role of Tunisia as a hub for second-hand clothing.
Last year In France, we co-created an Edition with the Students of the Arts Décoratifs school inspired by the Mucem archives. It was highlighting the key part played by schools to train new generations to upcoming issues, to link the past and present.
Next Edition will happen in Morocco
Dyeing is believed to be responsible for 20% of water pollution in the world. Since the 19th century, synthetic dyes have massively replaced natural dyes. In Morocco, there are ancient traditions around vegetable dyeing. ITINERANCE will co-create an edition with the women of a cooperative from the Anti Atlas, one of the only regions in the world where henna is also used to decorate textiles.
