Weaving Generations: Intergenerational Project on Textile Art and the Work of Marta Palau

Weaving Generations aims to create a space for encounter and knowledge exchange in relation to textile art. The project is conceived for a group comprised of twelve individuals from Espais de Gent Gran de l’Eixample [Eixample Senior Spaces] of Barcelona, as well as six more from Eix Jove de l’Eixample [Eixample Youth Alliance] and six students with connections to the textile workshop at Escola Massana.

The proposal will be for the group to enter into dialogue with the work of Marta Palau through three practical sessions, dedicated to experimentation with weaving and knot-making techniques. Particular attention will be paid to the materials used, prioritizing those connected to the immediate context or the personal environment of each participant.

The project will conclude with a public activity to assess the processes and results of the sessions, culminating with a performance piece by members of the G.A.C. (Grup d’Acció Creativa) from Eix Jove de l’Eixample.
