At The Loom: Marina Peng

Join us for a real-time weaving experience with artist Marina Peng. Drawing inspiration from current 21c St. Louis exhibitions "Elevate" and "The Future Is Female", the artist will be stationed at a loom in the main gallery and will create a new tapestry work from start-to-finish. This durational performance and its accompanying playlist will reflect on themes of girlhood, connection/disconnection, and nostalgia. Visitors are invited to witness the artist’s weaving process throughout the afternoon and evening on Thursday, Oct. 30, and the artwork’s completion on Friday, Oct. 31. Peng’s site-specific work "waxing, waning, wanting" (2025) is currently on display as part of "Elevate "at 21c. This exhibition series showcases the work of artists in St. Louis and the central Mississippi River region, highlighting the range and depth of visual culture in this dynamic, ever-changing area. Marina Peng is a multimedia artist working primarily with fiber, photography, and sculpture. In her practice, she examines her position as a second-generation American in the Midwest. She explores the cultural dissonance that arises within this position by depicting the cycles that exist within her family, dual cultures, and herself.
