The Support Collective returned to the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill last week for another Carer’s Creative Workshop, supported by the DLWP’s Learning & Participation Assistant and Artist, Miguel Martin.
Fourteen parents and carers enjoyed visiting the exhibitions, particularly taken with the work of Claudia Alarcón, an Indigenous textile artist from the La Puntana community of Wichí people of northern Salta, Argentina. Alarcón leads the Silät collective, an organisation of over one hundred women weavers of different generations from the Alto La Sierra and La Puntana Wichí communities. Learn more about the exhibition here.
The exhibition resonated with the group of carers who went on to eat lunch together before joining Miguel in the learning space for a weaving workshop. The day offered a chance to explore our own creativity in a relaxed, communal environment.
