What wide sea brought me here | Stretford Unofficial Museum | 4-5th March
Over Easter weekend we will be hosting our next community commission at the Unofficial Museum: What Wide Sea Brought Me Here ⛵
Through a series of drop-in workshops, you're invited to create small origami boats - each one carrying a personal story about how you came to be part of this community. For some, the journey may be short: born and raised here. For others, it may be a much longer journey that eventually led them to Stretford.
In the simple act of folding paper boats and sharing stories, you will contribute to a growing interactive artwork. Each boat becomes part of a collective exhibition - a reflection of the many different journeys that shape our community.
Sessions take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April from 1-3pm - you're welcome to drop in as you wish.
Join us to take part, share a story, and help build this collaborative piece.
