“There are elements of pop culture, style references, a real tapestry of community. Hayley and Elnaz took inspiration and were making a tapestry for 2025 to be displayed alongside the original. Groups got stuck in, talking, learning new skills. The first session I largely observed, meeting families and talking to them about the tapestries and what they were making. I went home and tried some embroidery with some cheaply printed photos from that first session, piercing the surface of the photo and picking up on the new skills shared. The results weren’t exactly what I had in mind, but it made me think of textures and layers.” – Joanne Coates
