LA CASA DENTRO by Sara Basta

La casa dentro is a book gathering together and reinterpreting the reflexions on the meaning of the word “home” by a group of students of  Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma. The action of sewing intrinsically demands a time for “staying”. Sewing together means sharing that time, allowing oneself to act in the closeness of a relationship. The workshop participants are asked to write and embroider on fabric a word connected to the meaning of HOME. Participants are asked to bring, beisides their time, a light coloured sheet, towel, or rag from home. The embroided words will become part of the Domestic Words Archive.
