Olek, artiste polonaise basée à NY et "reine du crochet" apporte de la couleur et de la vie dans le paysage urbain. Une de ces dernières installation, une maison entièrement recouverte de rochet en Finlande.

Several thousand homeless people live in New Delhi for whom the government has set up 'Rain Baseras' (night shelters) in various parts of the city. However, these go mostly unnoticed by others living in the city, much like the homeless people themselves. Olek is one of the worlds leading crochet artists, and with the St+art India foundation, she made a massive artpiece adorned a nigh shelter in Sarai Kale Khan, to bring attention to the homeless and the 'Rain Basera' Project.

To observe and celebrate International Women's Day, the developmental and humanitarian non-profit organization Maitri actively participated in a public art performance in New Delhi. Maitri and OLEK collaborated in the performance "Women Working in Pink" using crochet as a medium to demonstrate women's never-ending ability to multi-task, recreate and reinvent themselves.
OLEK's and Maitri's mission is to create awareness and bring about change, furthering and improving the rights of women in India.
"We feel passionate about celebrating the power and potential of women and will do this by demonstrating that like art, women can and should always be confidently recreating themselves. Women play an important role in society and in India."
We were crocheting by unraveling the white aprons in a continuous loop over the course of two hours. The artwork was thus destroyed as it was created, and created out of its own destruction in an infinite circle. Like the perpetual punishments of Sisyphus and Prometheus, a woman's work is never finished.
