THREADS' name is inspired from a mother's jar of threads that she kept from old garments she took apart and then re-sewed into new garments. The Threads jar is a metaphor for how our lives intertwine and how each of us are a thread interwoven into lives that evolve across space and time.
Watch Anita Ogurlu and her mother, Phyllis Ivanochko, talk about the inspiration behind THREADS' name.
