All Hail the Return of the Amigurumi!

I opened my email inbox yesterday and was delighted to learn that RESOBOX is again home to the amigurumi invasion! And it’s a very cute invasion at that—amigurumi are colorful crocheted or knitted stuffed animals, a modern art form in Japan. RESOBOX is hosting the “World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 2: A Crocheted Culture Celebration!” and it is definitely worth your time.

Here’s a photo from the exhibition from last year:

The exhibition starts this Friday at RESOBOX, with an opening reception from 7-9pm, and goes until February 29, 2016. (Hello, leap year.) More details from the fine folks at RESOBOX:

Surround yourself with colorful amigurumi, crocheted or knitted stuffed animals, at Resobox Gallery this Friday! The cute creatures will fill up the walls of our studio, each made by artists from all over the world. This year, we’ve decided to asks artists from 46 countries to create amigurumi representing special articles from their homelands. Come down to Resobox and join us in a cultural mix of cute, inspiring and creative exhibition!

You can RSVP on Facebook for the reception on Friday. It’s FREE! You should definitely stop by if you are free, yourself. Add some cute to your life with a healthy helping of amigurumi!
