Knitted Knowledge is a series of community discussion circles where yarn and ideas intertwine.

Decolonization: dismantling colonial frameworks in science, education, art, and everyday lifeKnitted Knowledge returns for its second gathering with a deep dive into Decolonization.Join us for an evening where knitting becomes a companion to critical conversation. As yarn moves through our hands, we’ll explore how colonial structures shape the world around us and how communities, scholars, artists, and everyday people are imagining alternatives.This circle is open to all skill levels, both in knitting / crocheting and in theory. Bring your needles, your curiosity, and your willingness to sit in thoughtful, human conversation. Each knit builds community; each dialogue weaves new understandings.Come be part of a space where craft and knowledge meet, and where learning feels grounded, embodied, and shared. Knitted KnowledgeKnitted Knowledge is a series of community discussion circles where yarn and ideas intertwine. Participants gather with knitting needles in hand to explore pressing academic and social themes (from decolonization to environmental justice) while creating fabric together. Each knit becomes a metaphor for collective reflection, each row a reminder of how knowledge is built in community. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or simply curious, this circle invites you to slow down, craft, and converse in a space where creativity and critical thought are woven together. FacilitatorDr. Yecid Ortega has been committed to critical, creative, anti-racist, and decolonial worldviews in research and education for over two decades. Dr. Ortega explores the pluriversality of social, cultural, and linguistic experiences of the most marginalized communities in society (Immigrants, Refugees, 2S/LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent, Older Adults, etc.) in formal and nonformal contexts and grounded by alternative critical, creative, arts-based, and community-oriented approaches. He is the founder of Liminal Research Services and co-founder of Artem Research Collective.
