Weaving Lab #3 | Aisha Hachem

Weaving Lab
Aisha Hachem
Zaterdag 25 oktober
14.00 – 17.00 uur

Doe mee aan het collectief weef- en borduur lab rond het thema thuis. Samen reflecteren, delen en creëren – en ontdekken wat thuis voor ieder van ons betekent. Of het nu een kleur, geur, object of plek is. Tijdens de sessie werkt het publiek zij aan zij met Aisha aan één groot geweven werk dat verschillende stemmen en herinneringen samenbrengt. Ervaring is niet nodig – kom gewoon zoals je bent, klaar om te verbinden, te creëren en deel uit te maken van deze gedeelde ervaring.

"If the first threads sought to repair what was once broken, these now turn inward - toward the body, the self, and the shifting idea of belonging. The act of weaving becomes less about mending objects, and more about understanding how identities are formed, unravelled, and rewoven through time and movement.

Each participant enters carrying their own pattern, visible or hidden - shaped by language, memory, and geography. As threads pass between hands, gestures repeat, stories overlap, and distinctions blur. Individual weavings begin to echo one another, forming quiet correspondences across difference.

In this process, identity ceases to be singular. It stretches, knots, and merges; it becomes a shared rhythm, not a fixed design. The space of the lab grows into a small community - one built not through agreement, but through the coexistence of many textures.

Here, the weave no longer belongs to one maker. It carries multiple tensions, multiple threads. The “I” becomes a “we.” From this collective fabric, a new phase of making emerges - one that holds the weight of individual histories while imagining a future woven together.”
