Northeastern Gallery 360

It was great to hear more last Friday about the process and ethos behind "Touching Toxicity" and "Soft City," and how the dynamic duo of just practice has evolved their collaborative creative practice over the years.

Sophie Chien and Amanda Ugorji first started felting together while working on "Soft City" as roommates in grad school at Harvard GSD. In their makeshift apartment studio, they spent a grueling few weeks putting the massive series of rugs together. By the end of that process, Chien's hands were exhausted—she vowed she'd never felt again.

Luckily, our commission for "Touching Toxicity" brought them together again for more textile work. This time, Chien and Ugorji were in different time zones, carefully divvying up the production work asynchronously to produce a striking and cohesive series of panels.

Thank you to everyone who made Friday's event so engaging! Be sure to check out "The Data at Hand" before it closes on Apr. 4 💫

There's just three weeks left to see "The Data at Hand" at Gallery 360! As we get into the home stretch of this show, we're excited to welcome artist duo just practice to campus next Friday for a conversation about their "Soft City" and "Touching Toxicity" projects and process.

Following the discussion at the Center for Design, we'll move to the gallery for a reception and some light refreshments.

If you're interested in learning more about just practice's work or meeting the artists, now is your chance!
