we, the flaneuse
2023 _ 2024
The
durational video work We, the Flaneuse is based on performative
crocheting at various public sites in Hamburg.
The title references
the Black Flaneuse in Nella Larson’s book Quicksand and searches
for narratives and politics of female loitering in the city.
By using
both indoor and outdoor spaces, Meghna Bhardwaj poses the question of
how a fragile material such as yarn and the fragility of a female
performative body can be made visible in the public space.
Can the
two come together to disrupt the social codes of performing in
public? What form of resistance can a gathering of
crocheting/crocheted bodies produce?
The
work is part of Meghna’s ongoing research
Yarning . The video work was premiered at K3 Kampnagel in March 2024.
