Take part in a hands-on weaving workshop led by Andrea Joynson and Alan Outram with Uncultured Creatives. 

Participants will also be able to make music, inspired by the connections between Jacquard textile technologies, synthesisers, pixels and electronic music. The workshop explores how weaving can be understood as an early form of programming. Long before digital screens and computer code, Jacquard looms used punch-card systems to control complex woven patterns, technology that would later influence computing, electronic music sequencing and digital image-making

Using archival images, you will cut, collage and weave together strips of printed imagery to create vibrant new artworks to take away, transforming fragments of the past into fresh contemporary designs, inspired by the music in the workshop.

Through playful making and experimentation, festival audiences of all ages can explore these surprising links between weaving, technology and sound. As colours, textures and images are layered and rewoven, you will become part of a live process of remixing something entirely new. 

Supported by the Creative Alliance, funded through the Place Partnership.

About Uncultured Creatives

Uncultured Creatives is a collaborative creative practice between Artist Jamie Holman and Creative Producer Alex Zawadzki, developed to support the effective delivery of complex commissions, through their shared skillset.

The work they produce is characterised by the exploration of divided histories, sensitive content and the unification of diverse community participants through shared experiences of culture, class and that which makes us human.

Uncultured Creatives look for exciting connections and opportunities to work with new communities in order to research and celebrate their heritage, and make visible their unique histories. Labelling their approach as something akin to a ‘cultural archeologist,’ they dig deep into heritage, archives and historical research, uncovering lost stories of the people, with an intense depth of research, interpreting the findings and developing poetic propositions, rather than judging or critiquing.
