Stich’n Bitch
Saba Sadr chez Tentacule & Libellule
Samedi 22 octobre à 14h – Tentacule & Libellule – 12 Rte de Banize, 23480 Saint-Sulpice-les-Champs
Rencontre avec Saba Sadr, artiste en résidence à la Métive dans le cadre du programme NAFAS, 100 résidences d’artistes libanais en France pour une résidence d’un mois à travers le dispositif de l’Institut français à destination des artisans d’art.
Pratiqué par des artisans et des artistes du monde entier, un « Stitch’n Bitch (renommé pour l’occasion) fait référence à une session de tricoteuses, crocheteuses ou brodeuses ensemble dans le même espace.
Il est souvent affilié à une pratique féministe informelle et est un élément essentiel de la résistance politique. Le terme lui-même a été inventé pendant la seconde guerre mondiale et a perduré depuis. Tant de profondeur et de couches pour une simple réunion de tricoteuses !
Il n’y a pas d’ordre du jour, et aucune obligation d’apporter un ouvrage à la séance. Un participant peut travailler sur le même ouvrage ou apprendre de/enseigner à ses collègues participants.

Saba Sadr :
Saba is an Iranian-Lebanese fine artist and fiber artist based in Beirut and Los Angeles. She received her Bachelor’s in Studio Arts at the American University of Beirut. She exhibited her performance art piece The Loom at AUB’s Byblos Bank Gallery and completed an artist residency at the 392Rmeil393 Gallery in Gemmayzeh, where she led carpet weaving workshops for displaced and disenfranchised Syrian mothers.
She participated in the AIRMAIL PROJECT, an artists’ global collaboration, and co-hosted the follow-up collaboration THE MIXUP with both local and international artists in Beirut. She was also co-art editor for Rusted Radishes: Beirut Literary and Art Journal at AUB. Her first position as project manager began at BASMEH & ZEITOONEH’S WOMEN’S WORKSHOP for Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese women across Lebanon, in which she designed and implemented workshops in embroidery and crochet, and led capacity building in carpet weaving and packaging. Saba also worked as the assistant director at the BEIRUT ART CENTER.
Currently, Saba is co-founder of GHAZEL – assistance network for female artisans across Beqaa as they build their careers in the decorative arts – and the co-founder of the informal cooperative Nehna Hon – feminist anti-racist collective that bridges networks in immigrant communities, sharing experience and resources for communal agency, and connecting immigrants with activists and other organizations across Lebanon. In her spare time, she assists logistics for a microbusiness based in heritage conservation called OUR STORY – HIKAYATOUNA, in which Syrian women tailor and design products that connect the local and international market with heritage crafts and practices from across the region.
