Trapholt wanted its celebration to imbue the reunification with immediate relevance to our present-day lives, and so invited textile artist Iben H\u00f8j to create a work of art that reflects on how we think and feel about borders today.<\/p>\n<p>Iben H\u00f8j defined the artistic perimeters of the work, stipulating the colours, materials and formats to be used in the overall project. Following this, a total of 778 people from all over Denmark and northern Germany contributed their personal reflections on the subject of borders. In this way, the project reflects on how boundaries \u2013 both geographical and mental \u2013 can shift and move. For <em>Stitches Beyond Borders<\/em>, participants were invited to use embroidery to express their personal ideas about physical or mental boundaries today.<\/p>\n<p>When submitting their embroideries, many participants included a description of their embroidery as well as a title. This wealth of narratives and different points of view on our present-day understanding of borders is also showcased in the exhibition.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mtm-video-shortcode-wrapper youtube\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive lazy\" alt=\"Gr\u00e6nsel\u00f8se Sting musikvideo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trapholt.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Udklip-1366x694.png\" \/><div class=\"playerOuterWrap\"><textarea>&lt;iframe width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;450&quot; allow=&quot;autoplay&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/S5naAETta3s?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;<\/textarea><div class=\"playerWrap ready dont-autoplay\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The silent protest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Stitches Beyond Borders<\/em> takes its starting point in the fact that around the time of the reunification, women used embroidery as a weapon in the political struggle, clearly signalling their sense of affiliation with Denmark. Needle and thread took voice in the fight for the reunification.<\/p>\n<p>Iben H\u00f8j\u2019s concept for <em>Stitches Beyond Borders<\/em> took its starting point in old, faded Danish flags that have been kept in storage for years, giving them a mottled wealth of different reds and areas of delicate yellows, their fading colours evoking a sense of history and lived life. In her own work as a textile artist, Iben H\u00f8j is interested in expressing herself through the use of thread and fabric, and traditions of craftsmanship are of central importance in her working process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mtm-video-shortcode-wrapper youtube\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive lazy\" alt=\"Gr\u00e6nsel\u00f8se Sting\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trapholt.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Udklip.png\" \/><div class=\"playerOuterWrap\"><textarea>&lt;iframe width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;450&quot; allow=&quot;autoplay&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ag2QK7ySVmc?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;<\/textarea><div class=\"playerWrap ready dont-autoplay\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the artist<\/strong><br \/>\nIben H\u00f8j works in a field where art, design and fashion intersect.
