Strickistinnen - guerilla knitting Vienna

Teaser Image: 

Statement:
Wir, die Strickistinnen, sind eine Gruppe wollbegeisterter Aktivistinnen und seit Mai 2010 mit unseren Aktionen im öffentlichen Raum präsent. Wir sind der Meinung „abwarten hilft nicht, also stricken wir, ein an und gegen.“ Mit unseren Strickaktionen wollen wir auf politische Zusammenhänge aufmerksam machen, im Alltag überraschen, neue Blickwinkel auf Bekanntes eröffnen, zeigen, dass vieles auch ganz anders sein könnte und textile Techniken, die weiblich konnotiert und im Privaten verortet werden, in den öffentlichen Raum einbringen. Dabei spielt der Entstehungsprozess unserer Werke eine große Rolle. Wir haben große Freude an der Entwicklung von Gemeinschaftsprojekten, den Vorbereitungstreffen (die ebenfalls im öffentlichen Raum stattfinden und damit Teil des Projektes sind), den Strickgesprächen und besonders den Montageaktionen, die immer besonders aufregend und energiegeladen sind.
