Yarn Bombing: From Door Handle to Wall Street and Everywhere in Between | S2Ep14
Yarn Bombing is a global fiber art movement that transforms public spaces through knitted and crocheted installations. While the term emerged in 2005 with Magda Sayeg and Knitta Please, the act itself predates the name, with earlier artists using fiber in public and environmental contexts. Over time, yarn bombing evolved from small “micro-tagging” interventions to large-scale installations, including iconic works like the Wall Street Bull and international community projects. Artists like Lauren O’Farrell expanded the practice into narrative storytelling, while Stephen Duneier brought it into wilderness spaces through temporary, permitted installations. Today, yarn bombing continues to function as art, protest, and public expression—demonstrating the power of fiber to reshape how we see the world.
