Focus on Solidarity<\/a> \u2013 Discussions and creative workshops bring solidarity to life in our daily routines and forge new connections between people from very different walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What connects us when private handicrafts become public?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspired by the Valencian artist Raquel Rodrigo<\/a>, who has been bringing embroidery from the private sphere onto the streets for over a decade, we invite you to a creative workshop that connects personal stories with urban art. Rodrigo describes her large-scale cross-stitch works on buildings as \u201can affirmation of women\u2019s art that has long remained invisible.\u201d It is precisely this spirit that we want to capture in the workshop and bring to life together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Embroidery as a Universal Language Between the Private and the Public<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the heart of the workshop, led by artists Bela \u00c1lvarez<\/strong> and Andrea Bohorquez<\/strong>, is the idea that textiles, threads, and patterns have always been vessels for memories, identity, and connection. Building on this tradition, participants will create their own small \u201curban embroideries\u201d for the exterior facade of our office<\/strong>\u2014on fabric, netting, or other materials. In doing so, we\u2019ll explore questions such as: What does solidarity mean in everyday life? What stories deserve to be seen? And how can handicrafts connect spaces that otherwise seem separate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The creative process is designed to be accessible to all: no prior experience is necessary, and materials are provided. Through discussions about motifs, colors, and personal connections, embroidered visual stories emerge that convey moments of solidarity and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project is funded by the Osts\u00e4chsische Sparkasse Dresden<\/a> and the Saxon State Ministry for Social Affairs, Health, and Social Cohesion<\/a>. This initiative is co-financed with tax revenues based on the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament as part of the state program \u201cIntegrative Measures<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conversations and creative workshops bring solidarity to life in everyday situations and forge new connections between people from very different walks of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[92,83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12465","eventkrake_event","type-eventkrake_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-92","category-workshop","eventkrake-accessibility-0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eventkrake_event\/12465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eventkrake_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/eventkrake_event"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neustadt-art-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
