The community is invited to create a collaborative community weaving project made from pieces of fabric, in response to everyone's definitions of home. In this workshop, facilitated by Queens-based artist Antonia Perez, participants are welcome to share their memories and ideas of home.

Add your story to the community weaving project, create your own small weaving block to take with you, and feel free to bring any small token that reminds you of home. The final piece will be on public display at a Queens Library site after its completion.

This program is inspired by highly personal textiles and quilts on view at the American Folk Art Museum, in the current exhibition, What That Quilt Knows About Me, and in collaboration with Queens Memory Project, Queens Public Library, and Socrates Sculpture Park.

Registration is not required, but space is limited.
