Reclaiming the Streets
Who:
Ishknits
Who:
Knitta Please
Magda Sayeg, founder of Knitta Please, began by taking knitting out of the home and into the streets.
The simple juxtaposition of this woven material placed within an urban environment has inspired a
new generation of knitters who no longer view function as the sole purpose for knitting.
“This new approach to knitting questions the assumptions of a traditional craft while adding a
previously unused material to the world of street art.”
“Response to the dehumanizing qualities of an urban environment. By inserting handmade art in a landscape of concrete and steel, she adds a human quality that otherwise rarely exists.”-knitta please
Why Create Street Art?
Jan VormannDispatchwork Group
Patching WWII damage with Legos.
“Even if only temporarily and symbolically – using this sometimes controversial juxtaposition of
new and old, and the unity that it brings to onlookers who stop to help.”
-Jan Vormann
“Also it leaves a positive imprint in people’s mind. As long as kids play, adults will build walls. And those wall break. Let’s patch them up with colorful plastic pieces. Life is serious, so that makes playing sometimes even more important.”
-Jan Vormann
Juliana Santacruz Herrarait's a bright and cheery way to improve
on otherwise dreary conditions.
The juxtaposition of colorful organic lines and shapes against the grey
urban setting is brilliant.
