Interactive Workshop | Interwoven : Stories of Us By Yap Rae Yi
In this reflective hands-on workshop, we explore weaving as a metaphor for identity and solidarity. Through a simple creative activity, we make artworks that honour our own journeys while recognising the quiet networks of support and community that hold us, reminding us that individual stories are strengthened through shared experience.
