Threading Organisms 3.0 at Bloomsbury Festival, invites the local community to observe and celebrate the symbiotic relationships established in their surroundings. The idea is to celebrate both the cooperative relationships among living creatures, as also between the partners who have made Bloomsbury Festival possible over 20 years. The participants will be invited to use textile upcyling through a residency to create customs and artworks that will be showcased through a performance and exhibition to celebrate the relationships and partnerships of 20 years of festival.
Threading Organisms (Hilando Organismos) is a participatory textile art project that invites communities to observe the symbiotic relationships between living creatures. The creative process involves literature review, guided tours and workshops facilitated by guest mentors with a background in science or the humanities. Participants use performance and upcycling to reflect upon how the relationships among living creatures can be expressed as parasitic or cooperative.
The first edition of Threading Organisms was presented at Centro Cultural Plaza Fátima, San Pedro Garza García, (Nuevo León, Mexico, 2024) and second edition was developed with the School of Architecture of Tecnológico de Monterrey University (DL3004C) (Nuevo León, Mexico, 2025). The initial editions where codeveloped by Tere Chad and Cordelia Rizzo.
Threading Organisms 3.0 at Bloomsbury Festival will be curated by Tere Chad at the Holborn Library and will focus on observing, celebrating and recreating through textile upcycling and performance the fruitful relationships that have been established though the Bloomsbury Festival over 20 years.
