Textiles carry an important cultural and symbolic weight. What’s more, carpets are inherent to all cultures. It is a convivial, intimate space that invites encounters and exchanges. For 3 months, Maak & Transmettre led workshops on the carpet as a vehicle for dialogue. Mastering the tuft technique is instinctive and can easily be practiced by people who are still learning a new language. The workshops were also an opportunity to exchange and discover new knowledge. The aim is to enhance the value of “doing” and “matter” without using words as the only means of communication. The project enabled both the learners and the facilitators to forge a strong bond of trust and caring, and allowed everyone to expres themselves creatively. An opportunity to pass on customs linked to each participant’s country of origin: Morocco, Belgium, Congo, France and Guinea. With Fanta, Nénén, Rabia, Régine.
