Weaving workshop and collective collage making. An open invitation to everyone to weave, knit, and engage in anything that involves connecting threads together!! This wall collage and workshop series bring together storytelling, cultural heritage, and participatory weaving to explore the rich cosmology and the female lineages of the Wayuu community in northern Colombia and Venezuela\u2014and to connect them with the wider world. Immerse yourself in the mythical and material worlds of Wayuu women and their vibrant, skillful weaving traditions, and contribute to the collaborative collage! To take part, feel free to join our Sunday workshops (registration below). Beginners and advanced practicioners are equally welcome!<\/p>\n

The Aliwaa Collective \u2013 Sindri Gonz\u00e1les Ipuana (Wayuu weaver), Stefannia Doria (curator from Colombia), and Raquel van Haver (artist from Colombia and the Netherlands) \u2013 has created a large collage wall as the foundation for the communal artwork. Contributions by visitors \u2014 whether woven, knitted, or crocheted \u2014 of the Humboldt Forum, as well as works by the Wayuu weaving community, are continuously added and together form a living artwork.<\/p>\n
