Come as you are; you'll learn the rest!

Juha Vehmaanperä is a Helsinki-based knitwear artist whose work focuses on queer theory and craftsmanship.

Studio Karavan x Heirlooming is a mobile textile crafts studio that creates functional textile objects from discarded home textiles, garments and tools. The project concerns textile circularity with a sense of cultural transmission of needlework crafts and vernacular knowledge, proposing to bring to light the invisibilities of who and how our clothes were and are made. The launch of a multi-use mobile textile studio in an Italian 1974 Piaggio Ape, previously belonging to a bakery, makes the case specifically for the valuation and platforming of female craft labour – historically performed in domesticity – and textiles as the fabric of humanity: a living universal pedagogical tool.
