Acclaimed for her Nike Blanket Petition, Cat Mazza joins Gestures of Resistance at Museum of Contemporary Craft as the fifth artist in residence, May 18-22. She embarks on a new project wherein knitted cast-offs of American brands are unmade and cut into strips or unraveled into a stitched sculpture. Mazza will develop a workshop environment that engages visitors in a discussion about the global garment industry. She will work and perform in the Museum each day from 11 am-6 pm. Her Nike Blanket Petition will be displayed in The Lab during her stay.
