Speaking Symbols: A Community Motif Wall

A free drop-in activity. No bookings required.

Design a geometric motif inspired by your connection to the Redlands' natural environment and add it to a growing community motif wall about connection to place.

Join them in creating a community motif wall inspired by current exhibition, My Soil Farsh: Iteration 3 (Place, as Guest).

This evolving artwork celebrates stories, connections and shared experiences in the Redlands.

Using pre-cut geometric shapes and templates, participants will design and collage their own motifs before adding them to the collective wall. Your motif might reflect a plant, animal, texture, or pattern from the Redlands that holds personal meaning.

This activity invites you to explore how patterns and symbols can carry stories—just as the ancient motifs of Persian Farsh carpets have held stories of identity and culture for thousands of years.

Together, we will weave a tapestry of ideas that celebrates diversity, belonging and the beauty of our local environment.
