TEDxSFU
• November 2020
When was the last time someone complimented you for progressing backwards? This talk reimagines perspectives on progress by exploring how sewing moves in reverse to secure and sustain each stitch. Through a dynamic talk that utilizes footage of various sewing techniques, artist Meagan Woods considers how we might apply these productive backward methods to reinforce our personal, social and environmental efforts whose seams we do not want to fray.
