빨간 드레스

레드 드레스(The Red Dress) 는 다년간 진행된 수상 경력에 빛나는 글로벌 협업 자수 프로젝트입니다. 2009년 레드 드레스를 시작한 영국의 섬유 예술가 커스티 맥클라우드(Kirstie Macleod)가 고안했습니다. 처음에는 설치 미술로 드레스를 전시했던 맥클라우드는 투명한 정육면체 안에 앉아 드레스를 입고 자수 작업을 했습니다. 이후 14년 동안 드레스는 전 세계를 여행하며 다양한 작가들의 손길로 끊임없이 자수되었습니다. 50개국에서 온 여성 365명, 남성 7명, 그리고 논바이너리 아티스트 2명, 그리고 드레스가 전시된 도시의 관객들이 함께 작업했습니다. 이 과정에서 레드 드레스는 전쟁으로 파괴된 나라, 빈곤으로 취약한 환경, 또는 난민으로 살아가는 전 세계 여성들에게 놀라운 표현의 도구가 되었습니다. 그들의 감정, 이야기, 그리고 꿈이 이 소재에 자수되었습니다. 이 단편 영화는 레드 드레스의 놀라운 이야기와 그 작품이 공동 창작자들에게 어떤 의미를 갖는지 보여줍니다.

이 영화는 레드 드레스가 전 세계를 돌며 전시회를 열고 레드 드레스 자체와 함께 상영되는 과정을 담은 작품입니다.

2009년부터 예술가 커스티 맥클라우드(Kirstie Macleod)는 전 세계의 장인들과 협력하여 The Red Dress에 정치적, 문화적, 개인적 이야기를 기고해 왔습니다.

이제 커스티와 드레스는 갤러리의 차가운 불빛을 피해 멕시코 치아파스의 산속으로 여행을 떠나, 드레스 제작에 기여한 두 여성을 만나면서 새로운 여정을 시작합니다. 자수 장인들 중 드레스가 완성된 모습을 본 사람은 극소수이고, 커스티는 지금까지 많은 자수 장인들을 만나본 적이 없습니다.

I think it’s an interesting and admirable project. Shame the video caption writer was not fully literate. Mistakes such as “it’s” instead of “its” leap to the eye.

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing this story. Because I've had very little success with ANY kind of needlework (except, perhaps, reattaching a loose button), I marvel at the talent of women who excel at needlecrafts. My Czech grandmother and my mother both crocheted, and my Babi knitted some elaborate items, including a pullover sweater for me. I did not appreciate their talent at the time but now wish I had inherited even a kernel of it. Thank you for using your many talents to showcase the work of others.

Ohhhh,myyy. Such Beauty and Inspiration. An uplifting documentary demonstrating the depth of global women’s outreach through the ancient art of using a simple needle, a strand of thread on a beautiful textile in global motion. What a Gift to All of Us.

Absolutely stunning to see the glory of the Red Dress on Daily Good here. It’s marvellous to see it shared so widely. It is an inspiring and uplifting piece of work. I’ve seen it 7 times when it was up here at Preston Park in the North East. A real treat. ❤️

What a brilliant concept, so lovingly born and nurtured. It is heartening to see such expressions of beauty emerging from brave souls who have so little. Truly they have given something priceless in the spirit of sisterhood and creativity.

What an awesome project. I hope you’ll consider asking the Smithsonian Museum to exhibit the dress after you have shown it all that you want to see it. It is a beautiful creation and a touching story.
