When we talk about Sustainability, we focus on the sustainable solutions based on physical resources. However, very frequently we overlook a key part for creating a successful sustainable society: Cultural Sustainability. 

This film explores cultural sustainability in the context of the Japanese practice of “Sashiko”. 

Traditional sashiko was used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 | 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 @𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘄 Lori Antoinette

                                           Note from the Artist

3 more days until the opening of UNPLAIT, my debut art exhibit at East Yard. I’ve been a performing artist for almost 30 years. Three whole decades. Visual arts has been a part of that journey in many ways. My jewelry has been commissioned by MoCADA Museum in Brooklyn. I have performed with fellow performing artists at Museum of Modern Art and commissioned to create performance installations at the Brooklyn Museum for Mickalene Thomas’s exhibition and several other events. And now in my place of birth, a country that I love, in a creative space that is dear to my heart I get the chance to share this body of work that I’m not only proud of but believe will open a door to enlightenment and healing. My art in any form is spirit and it is from this space I create and share. Looking forward to seeing you there as we attempt to unplait: undo what has been done.LoveJ.

Culture is not only beneficial to cities; in a deeper sense, it’s what cities are for. A city without poets, painters and photographers is sterile.
