Description
There were two public workshops where people living in the neighbourhood were invited to. The first one took place at John Oliver Secondary School on March 31st and the second in the house of a SH BIA Art Committee member on April 9th. People brought clothing, rugs, table clothes, costumes, photos of patterns from different cultures. They represented a good cross section of the neighbourhood. They told stories and talked about their background, culture and customs. The artist drew inspiration from these events.
