In this episode, we meet Canadian textile artist, actor, and writer Kirk Dunn, whose extraordinary knitted works weave together themes of faith, social justice, and human connection. Best known for Stitched Glass - a 15-year knitted triptych inspired by stained-glass windows - Kirk uses yarn as a metaphor for healing across divides.
His one-man show The Knitting Pilgrim blends storytelling, projected imagery, and textile art to explore the shared tensions and hopes within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Through his podcast The Knitting Pilgrim Talks and hands-on workshops in colour work and spiritual improvisation, Kirk invites dialogue, empathy, and participation.
This conversation touches on xenophobia, interfaith understanding, and the power of craft to build bridges. Stitched Glass premiered at the Aga Khan Museum, and his Patchwork Pride Project was showcased at Canada House in London during Pride Month 2025.
Recorded on 8 August 2025
