Weaving is a practice used by many cultures and artists all over the world! During our event Fall Family Art Day on Oct 1, NUMU presented a weaving activity, inviting participants to create a weaving inspired by diversity and what it means to you. Below are some instructions for you to get creative at home.
We encourage you to dive a little deeper and choose colors of yarn for your weaving that represents your own diversity such as your personality, your family’s heritage, your life story, a flag, or how diversity makes you feel. Our Artist in Residence Alexander Hernandez is a great example of how textiles can be used in a meaningful way to communicate ideas of identity, as seen in his work for the exhibition RETAZOS.
