The ateliers of 2021 and 2022
During a series of open ateliers Weaving Futures created a space where people with different histories have built conversations beyond language. While working with textile, music and image, the ateliers were a starting point to bring people together and nourish their dreams. It offered a place to practise new ideas and to build generous communities. We believe that it’s through artistic practice that we can materialise questions that language cannot express, and make us see what the future could make possible.
