On June 20, CHERUBY welcomes artist Cheong See Min for 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥, a weaving workshop presented as part of her ongoing transnational research project and short-term residency at CHERUBY. Working with pineapple leaf fiber, the workshop explores the relationship between material, memory, labor, and everyday objects.
Participants are invited to bring a square object marked by use or personal significance—a notebook, hard drive, cassette tape, box, wallet, phone case, or any object that has accompanied them through time. Using yarn and pineapple leaf fiber, participants will design their own weaving patterns and transform these familiar objects through wrapping, threading, and weaving, creating unique fiber sculptures shaped by personal histories.
Derived from discarded pineapple leaves after harvest, pineapple fiber carries layered histories across labor, migration, and craft traditions. In Cheong’s practice, it becomes a material through which stories, memories, and human relationships to land can be revisited and reimagined.
The workshop will begin with an introduction to the artist’s ongoing research into pineapple fiber and textile histories, followed by a guided weaving session and a collective sharing of the stories embedded in each object.

June 20(Sat), 13:00–16:00
758 Changle Road, Shanghai
RMB 50 | Reservation required (10 participants max.)
Please bring one square object with visible signs of use or personal meaning.

About the Artist

Cheong See Min (b. Malaysia) is a multidisciplinary artist currently practicing between Malaysia and Taiwan. Cheong See Min’s practice interrogates the relationship between nature and humans. Her method combines fiber, weaving, sculpture and installation to create the works grounded in nature and history and considers weaving an act of communication that mediates between the past and present.

Her recent practice is informed by research – both archival as well as anecdotal – into the colonial history of plantations in Malaysia, and the cost of sustaining the production and export of commercial crops from Peninsula Malaysia to England.

See Min holds an MA from Tainan National University of Art in Taiwan (2020). She was shortlisted for Bakat Muda Sezaman Young Contemporaries (2019) and the International Biennale Exhibition of Micro Textile Art Scythia, Ukraine (2021).
