We are thrilled to share a first look of Held in the Weft by Négar Devine-Tajgardan.
For Négar, Held in the Weft is a conversation with the past. Working in her home studio in Saskatoon, she weaves brightly coloured bias tapes with thin strips of paper, recreating patterns that were a familiar sight throughout her childhood growing up in Iran.
In contrast to the deep reds, golds and greens of the bias tape, the pearly strips of paper feature tiny family photographs. They are from across her life, blending moments of the past and present. As warp and weft merge, Négar’s weaving hands connect to culture and heritage, to a life that was, is and will be ever evolving, treasuring what is precious and embracing what is new.
What is Held in the weft is an ongoing journey, a window into an experience of immigration that is shared by so many. The exhibition is now on view and runs from November 3 to January 23, 2027.
