Event Date: 04/12/2025

In An Embroiderer’s Guide to Time and Thread – A Dialogue with the Past, Korean embroidery artist and author Heehwa Jo invites audiences to journey through time, tradition, and creativity. In this online talk, she shares how her practice bridges centuries — reproducing, reinterpreting, and reimagining Korean embroidery heritage through her own contemporary lens. From studying the techniques of historical artisans to creating original works inspired by their legacy, she reflects on how embroidery becomes a form of time travel — a conversation stitched across generations. 

Heehwa Jo is a Korean embroidery artist whose works have been showcased at prestigious international exhibitions like Homo Faber in Venice and Craft Trend Fair in Seoul. With a decade of expertise, her innovative fusion of traditional Korean embroidery and contemporary design continues to captivate global audiences. Through her artistry, publications, and workshops, she is redefining the cultural narrative of Korean embroidery on the world stage. Currently at MEAA are a selection of Heehwa’s works on show until Saturday 20 December.
