Over the break I checked out a great show at the Contemporary Museum of Craft: Gestures of Resistance. It continues for another few months, so go see it! Below are some images from a performance and installation by Frau Fiber. She rode her pedal-powered bike/sewing machine out into the streets of Portland to invite folks passing by to help out.

Gestures of Resistance

Museum of Contemporary Craft

As participants pedaled, powering her sewing machine, Frau stitched a jacket made from recycled plastic bags.
