Ottawa 200 Years

Greta Grip and Lee Jones textile exhibition marks “Ottawa 200 - Celebrate Together” by translating Ottawa’s data on our shared history, present realities, and possible futures into a living, knitted form. Rooted in our collaborative practice at the intersection of textiles and terminology. The work uses knitting as both material process and metaphor – one that holds memory, labour, care, and time.
