‘Paper Weaving – Reframing Immigrant Narratives’ is a collaboration by visual artist and designer Ella Krispel and Old Spitalfields Market.
The woven tapestry INSTALLATION and collaborative workshops will celebrate both the craft of paper weaving and the woven identities that make up the fabric of immigrants living in London and the UK.
Ella’s large-scale, colourful, eye-catching paper-woven installation uses the craft of weaving as a metaphor for assumption-building. It highlights how the language used in relation to immigration can frame it in a misleading light.
The WORKSHOPS will invite members of the public to weave together a collaborative, vibrant tapestry. Each participant will contribute their own perspective through a piece of woven paper, which will then be combined to form a single woven composition.
Workshops are FREE to join and can be booked HERE
