News: Contemporary Felt – Niki Collier Residency at IMMA

Feltmaker Ireland member Dr Niki Collier has been invited to develop a series of engagements at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).

The residency involves Niki’s practice by connecting her work to IMMA’s collections and current exhibitions.

Using the ancient craft of wool we would start the quest for identity – ours and that of our immediate circle of friends and family. How do we curate identity in the era of constant self-expression and fierce curation of narrative?

Join Niki Collier for this fun workshop for children and adults while viewing our photography exhibition ‘Influence and Identity’, Twentieth Century Portrait Photography from the Bank of America Collection.

The first workshop was on the 15th of June, but there are several more upcoming. Please keep an eye out on Niki’s Instagram – @nikicollierfelt.
