With Spaces of Possibility, the Bruges Triennial 2024’s ambition is to (re)discover un(der)used spaces in the city. SO–IL's contribution, titled “Common Thread”, is inspired by the laywomen of the medieval city, who practiced a communal and pious life outside church orders and the institution of marriage, and were responsible for the flourishing of lace-making. In collaboration with Dr. Mariana Popescu from TU Delft, “Common Thread” was knitted by a programmable 3D knitting machine from recycled ocean plastic yarns, creating a manifold, non-contiguous, tunnel-like path meandering through the cloister of the Friars Minor Capuchins, which is made open to public for the first time this year.
