THE Cebu Crochet Group (CCG) has initiated a “yarn bombing” on the trees in front of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) in Banilad, Cebu City.
Yarn bombing is like street graffiti, but its artists use yarn and crochet installations in public spaces. Rose Buenconsejo, one of the CCG administrators, said that yarn bombing was a way for them to say that crocheting is not dead.
“This grandmotherly thing is not dead. Art should not be intimidating, and it’s not exclusive to extremely talented individuals because even grandmothers can do it,” Buenconsejo said.
The CCG was given a limited time to “yarn-bomb” the ECCP trees.
