Craft - Knit Your Way to Mental Wellbeing with PetiteKnit and Anne Kirketerp — Hovedbiblioteket, Aarhus

What does it do to us - body and mind - when we put our hands to work on something tangible? That question is at the heart of this conversation at Hovedbiblioteket.

Anne Kirketerp holds a PhD in psychology, works as a craft artist, and has developed the concept of 'craft psychology'. She meets with Mette Wendelboe Okkels, the knit designer behind PetiteKnit, for a discussion about the role of handicraft in mental health, community, and deep focus. Journalist Bjørg Tulinius moderates the conversation.

Bring your knitting. The event takes place in Store Sal and is part of Folkeuniversitetet's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds - the full programme can be found on Hearts & Minds.
