INTERACTIVE WEAVES
Interactive Weaves is an Arts Council Funded Project designed, planned and created by Alice Hume to make collaborative art with 21 Hotwalls Studios Artists and the public. Seven woven installations were created during the summer of 2021 outside in Old Portsmouth using local waste materials of paper, textile, plastic and plants. Hotwalls Artists ran free workshops or life-painted the events. Over 500 members of the public contributed to the artworks which were exhibited in the Historic Round Tower and Portsmouth Cathedral.
The Interactive Weaves film has been screened at Pallant House Gallery, John Hansard Gallery, Portsmouth Guildhall Big Screen, The Historic Round Tower, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth Cathedral and Cumberland House.

“Beautiful project with so many amazing aspects - from the community involvement to the sustainability of the materials, this was a fantastic way to combine amazing works of art with a much larger, important message”
“This type of community engagement is essential in the crumbling world we are currently living in. The more community events like this that people are able to actually take part in, the more opportunity there is to provide alternative activities to consumerism, to educate people in sustainable practice and build stronger and more resilient communities”
