The social artwork Stitches beyond Borders at Trapholt Museum of Art & Design in Kolding took shape during the period November 2019 – April 2020 as a co-created embroidered installation to commemorate the reunification with Southern Denmark.
The reception of the installation was truly overwhelming! In September, The Danish Arts Foundation awarded Iben Høj with a prize for the overall artistic responsibility and the successful outcome of the co-creation. The Foundation particularly remarked on the rarity of such high artistic standard in the field of co-created projects.
800 co-creators gave us – through their wonderful and personal embroideries – an insight into their views on the theme of Borders.
