We celebrate the final result of a beautiful 20 meter long collage with more than 100 woven parts and creators!<\/p>\n

Over a period of five months, visitors to the Humboldt Forum were invited to take part in a large-scale collaborative artwork as part of the \u2018Gift of the Spider<\/a>\u2019 workshops.<\/p>\n

The result is a large-scale wall collage featuring crocheted and woven elements that captures the diversity, dedication and curiosity of our visitors. The collage wall is based on the installation \u201cThe Story of Waleka\u201d by the Aliwaa Collective.<\/p>\n

On 2 May, we will celebrate the outcome of this collaborative process with you and speak with the participating artists, weavers and crocheters. Raquel van Haver from the Aliwaa Collective and Dagmar Rehse (handgewebt in berlin), who led the majority of the collaborative workshops, will discuss the creative process, the commitment of Berlin\u2019s crocheting and weaving community, and the work\u2019s roots in the traditions of the matriarchal Wayuu culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
