2. Mending, at its most literal, means to repair through sewing or darning. Contemporary craft-based artists have taken up the practice in both material and symbolic forms: considering the reparative nature of craft
practices in social, community-based, and political venues. Mending, as an act of repair, can be done through darning, patchwork, raffu, glueing, etc. It can
also be done through conversation, attention, and taking responsibility.
Mending can be a material, aesthetic, or historical act and often intersects with conversations around care, sustainability, and agency. Mending is a reparative act, but also involves a rupture. It can restore, or if done
improperly, can make the rupture worse. This panel invites proposals that examine the role of mending in (re)making (materials, future, and pasts). Mending here can be a method, a material practice, and/or a framework for analysis.

Keywords: mending, craft, care, conservation

Every fall,
UAAC-AAUC hosts Canada’s professional conference for visual arts-based research by art historians, professors, artists, curators, and cultural workers. The
conference is held at a different location each year, generally at a Canadian university or college. The sessions and panels address issues and subjects in
art history, theory, and practice from various methodological approaches. taken in Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology at Concordia by @projecthandstitch

Art and artists I met in 2026.
Montreal, Canada. ✨

This was the spotlight event and one of my final curations as part of the Concordia Public Scholars Program (2025–26).

One of the greatest joys of this journey was bringing together the friends, artists, makers, and community I have had the privilege to build throughout my PhD. Seeing everyone gather in one space to share, create, and celebrate made this event truly special.

I am deeply grateful for the love, generosity, and joy that surrounded this program. Here’s to the friendships we built during my Public Scholar journey, and to the many more collaborations and connections that will continue beyond it. ❤️ by @projecthandstitch

Crafting Commons: Material | Making | Meditate ✨
What an inspiring day of conversations, creativity, and community at Concordia's Fourth Space. Bringing together artists, designers, researchers, educators, and craft practitioners from Canada, India, and the UK, we explored how making can become a space for dialogue, sustainability, care, and collective learning.

It was an honour to organize and co-moderate this symposium with fellow PhD scholar @meghachauhanm alongside an incredible panel featuring Sowparnika Balaswaminathan, @madan4meena, @rachelmachenry @studio_juhi, @kathleen.sheila.vaughan, @pragya57 @atelierb_amarie, @tuliatella (Amruthalakshmi Rajagopalan), @nadia.bunyan (@growing.arc ) Megha Chauhan, and Pramila Choudhary.

Thank you to our workshop facilitators, exhibiting artists, collaborators, and everyone who joined us. Your generosity, insights, and creative practices made this gathering truly special.
Craft reminds us that materials carry memory, making builds relationships, and commons are created through care.
Grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible. 💛 taken in 4TH SPACE Concordia University by @projecthandstitch

Building community is such a joy.

At Projecthandstitch, we are grateful for a growing community of researchers, artists, makers, and organizers who continue to show up, collaborate, and share generously. While fieldwork, research, and community work often keep us busy, these connections make it all worthwhile.

As we wrap up the Moving Mending Circles Winter Series, I am reflecting on recent fieldwork in India, where the realities of climate change were impossible to ignore. It has been an inspiring season of learning through conversations on sustainability, mending, care, craft, and community.

A heartfelt thank you to our speakers: Dr. Ghada Soliman, Prof. Saumya Pande, Tricia Crivellaro, and SJ Jones, and to everyone who joined us along the way.

Special thanks to our panel moderators Molly Clair, Victoria MacBeath, Pragya Sharma, and Pramila Choudhary for facilitating these thoughtful conversations and exchanges.

We are also grateful for the support of our collaborators, the Milieux Institute and the Textiles & Materiality Cluster, whose ongoing support helps make these conversations and connections possible.

Here’s to continuing these conversations, collaborations, and communities of care.
