Ritual Repair Weaving Workshop Series

Presented by YBCA |

November–February, 2024

Learn some basic tapestry weaving techniques and discover how to transform your personal materials into threads in a Ritual Repair Weaving Workshop with BAN9 artist Indira Allegra. Bring some of your personal materials that represent an old version of yourself—like used clothing, letters, jewelry, or prescription bottles—to add to a collective tapestry. Through the act of weaving, what once represented loss can be transmuted into a wish, hope, or prayer for healing. Workshop participation takes approximately 30 minutes. All ages and experience levels are welcome.
