Future Imaginaries: Ecology Loom installation, 1B Window Gallery Walthamstow
Facilitated collaborative weaving installation exploring ideas for the ecological future of Waltham Forest. The Ecology Loom invites participants to contribute their ideas for what the ecological future could and should look like, from practical policies to fantastical ideas of human/more-than-human hybridity. Facilitated discussions are manifested in paper ‘threads’ which are woven into the loom to create a collaborative tapestry of ideas.

This workshop was part of Jamboree in the Park, a free festival for local communities in Newham, and the workshop was selected by a community panel. The festival was produced by Learning Stages on behalf of Culture within Newham
