This project embraced a bold vision: challenging traditional masculinity through the practice of knitting. In Cali, Colombia, we brought together a group of men to create a vibrant community focused on creativity, togetherness, and personal growth.
Spearheading the project, I facilitated our knitting circle, which became a space for exploration, allowing participants to challenge societal norms and uncover hidden talents. The experience encouraged a strong sense of belonging, with members sharing stories, laughter, and mutual support.
The project’s impact extended beyond our group. One participant’s knitted process became an artwork showcased in a prestigious master’s program exhibition in Germany. At the same time, another’s inspiring journey was featured in a local magazine, sparking broader interest and conversation about the project.
This initiative highlighted knitting’s power as a personal transformation and community-building catalyst. Challenging stereotypes and celebrating diversity created a positive and inspiring experience for all involved.
