Session 4 of ‘A Sorry State of Welfare’
Join Jack Moyse & Menna Buss for the 4th session in a series of banner-quilt making. Guided by conversations about your experiences of the Welfare State, Jack and Menna are working with us to tell stories in cloth.
At this point in the project appliqué letters and cyanotype blue prints will be patched and stitched, pinwheel patchworks padded and added as well as crochet netting developed.
Join us as we build a community textile artwork together!
More about “A Sorry State”
“How would you describe your current relationship with the welfare system? Do you think there’s a difference between how you see yourself and how the system sees you? If you could redesign the welfare system, what would it look like?"
These are some of the questions asked by artists Jack Moyse & Menna Buss. Jack, with lived experience of disability - photography and installation and Menna, arts in health Textiles facilitator join 9to90 for creative explorations.
“We aim to create safe, accessible spaces for people to reflect on and share their experiences of the welfare system and encourage participants to share thoughts creatively without fear of judgement. Through talking and making, the workshops encourage collective expression and peer connection. Participants’ contributions will inform the development of a new artwork, ensuring their voices sit at the centre of the project. The sessions prioritise care, dignity, and consent throughout. They aim to build confidence in creative self-expression, teaching new skills associated with textile working."
With free hot drinks, snacks and lots of chat, we look forward to seeing you.
