This is a participatory work with a mixed group of Belgian and migrated people in a social creative textile work institute, Manoeuvre.
In this project I try to introduce a new method to the group members to enable them to add their personal photos to a piece of patchwork. The project evidences the role and function of artistic media in mutual learning and sharing, social integration and participation. The aim of this participatory work is to re-image an image based on the participants’ archived memories (personal photos) by applying their domestic daily “handicraft” skill as an artistic medium to share their stories over different time periods with the wider society.
