Robyn Love | SpinCycle
Atlantic Place (By Jumping Bean)

SpinCycle is a physical, social and artistic framework created to encourage trust, collaboration and honest storytelling – all of which feel especially needed as we begin to emerge from over a year of being in a global pandemic. It uses the premise that people are more willing to be open when we are actively engaged in some form of physical labour – in this case pedalling a stationary bicycle and using a spinning wheel to create yarn.

6-7pm
Have something to say? Join us on this handmade banner walk. Bring your own protest banners informed by the workshop of Aram Han Sifuentes. We will leave Eastern Edge Studios at 6pm and travel through the pedestrian mall returning back to hang them in the studio space.
