Participating artists: Shamiran Adam, Lovisa Hed, Karin Holmberg, Helena Lagerqvist Kuoljok, Jenny Hillevi Larsson, Diana Lazare, Sandra Lundberg, Allis Matei, Linea Matei, Lotta Sjöberg och Mi Tjio

During Sthlm Craft Week, the members of the collective P.A.N.G show their works in the temporary exhibition Nålsöga at Tensta konsthall. The collective P.A.N.G. consists of twelve professional practitioners in art embroidery and textile art. The members have different backgrounds, education and experiences, but are united in the desire to give needle and thread an obvious place in both the art world and the public space. The group's vision is to be a dynamic network for professional practitioners in embroidery and textile arts.

The exhibition Nålsöga at Tensta konsthall 2—6 October
We work with the softest and the strongest, the hardest and most fragile. Thin threads and small stitches that create load-bearing structures. Through a needle's eye, we invite others to see each other and ourselves in textile images and forms. What do we share, what do we carry? Our common strength is needle and thread, everything else we discover together. To travel together, we need to gather around differences and celebrate them. Generations and cultures have overcome impossibilities. What can get through the eye of a needle?
