What do you want to celebrate?
Sew a piece for the 2027 exhibition
To mark Wanås Konst’s 40th anniversary in 2027, artists Chiachio & Giannone are creating a new textile artwork together with visitors, neighbours and the wider Wanås community. The artwork will take the form of a huge patchwork quilt made up of 25 × 25 cm squares. The exhibition will open at the turn of April/May 2027.
Would you like to make a square? The theme is the question: “What do you want to celebrate?”
Reflect on what makes you happy, what you find beautiful and what you consider important in the world and in life – both big and small things. Sew, draw, write! Embroider, appliqué pieces of fabric, stamp or print.
Need materials? Get in touch at pedagogik@wanaskonst.se and we’ll find the best way to get the materials to you.
Your finished square can be delivered to the Wanås Konst office on weekdays between 8 am and 4.30 pm (NOTE: closed over Christmas and New Year), or sent by post to:

Chiachio & Giannone create richly layered textile works using embroidery, patchwork and quilting techniques. Their collaborative artistic practice spans more than 20 years. Their process is slow and labour-intensive, and their compositions can take several years to complete.
