Textile Art as Reclamation: With Norwin Anne and Carol Ann Apilado

Wednesday, November 6, 2024
The Dr. Anne Tanenbaum Gallery School

Learn different weaving techniques with local artists Norwin Anne and Carol Ann Apilado. Norwin Anne will teach participants how to weave a new textile and create their own tapestry using fabric scraps on a handmade loom / repurposed frame. This activity aims to remind us of this cultural craft and how textiles are made to encourage a slow and conscious fashion mindset. Carol Ann will teach weaving the Kusikus Pattern on a Table Loom.

Carol Ann Apilado (b. Oslo, Norway) is a self-taught Ilokano weaver based in Toronto. Originally a designer and mural artist, she shifted her creative practice to focus mainly on traditional Filipino weaving. Through this practice, she has found a deeper connection to her ancestral traditions - specifically her paternal grandmother’s weaving roots in Bangar, La Union, Philippines. Carol Ann sees weaving as a universal language that transcends divides and celebrates shared stories of the past, present, and future. Her work aims to honour and remember tradition while embracing contemporary expression.

Norwin Anne is a Filipinx multidisciplinary artist/designer, (re)maker and eco-culture communicator. They studied Fashion Techniques and Design at George Brown College with a waste-conscious approach and slow fashion mentality. Primarily working with second-hand materials, they started focusing on textile waste as a research study during school, which evolved into learning more about our waste culture to understand its environmental impacts and beyond.
