Woven Together Community Landscape Collaborative Art Project
Woven Together Community Landscape is a participatory textile installation inviting visitors to become part of a growing communal woven landscape. Through the simple act of weaving, participants contribute their own unique colors, textures, and stories to a collective artwork created by many hands.
Each section of the landscape is woven on a Healing with Weaving frame loom. Some sections are created by a single participant, while others are woven collaboratively by many hands, reflecting the unique stories, connections, and shared experiences that emerge through the process.
Rooted in Debbie Barrett-Jones' Healing with Weaving initiative, this ongoing project explores weaving as a practice of connection, care, mindfulness, and shared creativity. Since 2021, more than 100 participants have contributed woven sections, creating a collective record of place, memory, and community.
Visitors are invited to sit at the looms and add their own woven elements to the installation. As the artwork continues to grow, it becomes a living landscape shaped by individual contributions and shared experiences.
Woven Together Community Landscape celebrates craft as a universal language, one that brings people together, encourages participation, and creates meaningful connections across generations and backgrounds.
Interested in bringing Woven Together to your organization, school, healthcare setting, or community? I’m currently developing several levels of programming to make this project adaptable to different spaces and budgets. Message me to learn more.
