Spinning Yarns is a site-specific, public performance and interactive exhibition that records local stories within spun wool.

The production of textiles and the act of storytelling are two activities that traditionally brought people together and were often intertwined. After the isolating events of COVID-19, LUCIANO want to connect people through these traditionally social activities, re-engaging them with their local communities and this historical craft technique.

Created during remote Artist in Residence (rAiR) with the City of Greater Dandenong, "Arts and Crafts" focuses on the story of the everyday life of people during the chaotic beginning of 2020, and how people turned to art and craft mediums to contribute to relief, keep entertained and express themselves in trying times.
