Artten Foundation offers a series of collective weaving workshops “Crafts that unite, heal, and last” designed to foster connection and resilience. Against the backdrop of armed conflicts and aggression, the act of weaving serves as a powerful means to bring people together, instilling hope and optimism. The method is accessible to all, requiring no special skills or talent. These workshops take place in public spaces across various cities, eliminating the need for tickets or registration and ensuring free access for open engagement. A particular focus is directed towards young people, refugees, and other vulnerable groups in society who frequently face economic barriers to participation in cultural events. Through this initiative, the project seeks to create a lasting impact, both in the art form itself and in the communities it touches.
