Re-Use Art Factory: Community Weave

What happens when many hands contribute to one shared work, day after day? The Re-Use Art Factory: Community Weave sets out to answer exactly that. Using recycled plastic materials sourced on-site, a growing community artwork takes shape. Creative, sustainable, and open to all age groups. No prior experience required!

Weaving: Where Tradition Meets Creativity

Weaving is one of the oldest cultural techniques in human history. Once used primarily for textile production, it has since evolved into a recognized form of artistic expression. In Community Weave, this age-old practice is reimagined as a collective creative process, where individual threads come together to form a unified, shared artwork.

Art Meets Environmental Awareness

Community Weave combines hands-on creativity with important lessons in recycling, material reuse, and environmental awareness. Children, teens, and adults alike can explore how so-called waste materials can be transformed into something of real value. In this way, design becomes a dialogue about resources, sustainability, and working together.

The final artwork, created throughout the month, will be prominently displayed in The Playce or elsewhere on-site.

πŸ“ The Playce, Ground Floor πŸ•’ Daily from June 29 to July 27 πŸ•’ 3:00–6:00 PM πŸ”— No registration – just drop by and join in!
