Unweaving and Reweaving the Commons

By  Emily Joy 2024

Collaborative, participatory work.

Visitors were invited to unweave a large fabric print of the local grassland commons, echoing the path erosion and ecological and biodiversity loss. Participants were then invited to reweave the pulled threads, creating a new, collaborative cloth.

Made in collaboration with Nicola Builder, Saori Weaver (Wayward Weaves) and Deborah Roberts, conservationist
