Workshop:Grey Torrico TBD
Mastery of Single Crochet Required.
In 2025, existing is resisting. Even in the trash heap, we can still create pockets of radical joy and community care. Because when they try to freeze solidarity? We crochet warmth and rage against the machine.
This workshop rejects the idea that existing under authoritarian creep means accepting despair. Here, we reclaim play as power: stitching literal flames keeps our collective fire alive, while tangled yarn becomes communion — laughter woven tight enough to unravel the isolation these systems thrive on.
