THE THREADS THAT CONNECTS US

This exhibit is a collaborative exhibit created by students at Island Discovery Learning Community. Students have created individual and multi-age pieces, large and small, from foraged, saved, upcycled and sustainable materials. 

Students worked with mentors from the community including members from The Bowen Fiber Arts Guild. Grant funding was provided by the Bowen Island Small Grant fund from the Vancouver Foundation. This grant supported the making of small mending kits for the visiting public to take home and try some mending themselves. This is an important central theme of the exhibity in with students , while learning important mending guilting, weaving and stitching skills, reflect on their position and role as learners AND teachers in the generational cycle of oral and visual teaching.

There will be opportunities for the visiting public to hear student reflections on the process of making their works by way of QR codes linked to audio recordings. This is a visual and auditory feast in addition to some workshop offering during the short two week exhbit.
