Crafting in Community - Collaborative exhibition at De Voorkamer, Utrecht
During the workshops sessions “ How to create anew?” we xplored alternative ways of defining home environments.
Over six sessions, participants engaged in discussions on guest-host dynamics, gender relations, and domestic hierarchies. Using the lino technique on a shared fabric, they presented, re-imagined, or redesigned their living conditions. Working collectively has been the core of this project, with the final two sessions dedicated to reflecting on the depicted stories and using embroidery to connect them. Working collectively emphasized the creative strength of communities and highlighted the importance of addressing such themes together.
The resulting fabric, now a tablecloth, serves as a tangible representation of the community’s shared stories.
It has been displayed at @devoorkamerproject encouraging ongoing interaction and discussion among community members and visitors.
