ABOUT THE WEAVING WATER WORKSHOP SERIES AND MWMO:MWMO Artist-in-Residence Sarah Nassif brings Weaving Water Workshops to residents across the urban watershed area. She collaborates with community organizations and fellow artists to spark new connections and conversations about our relationships to the Mississippi River and its vast watershed, the fourth largest watershed in the world!Weaving Water Workshops reconnect us to the water flowing outside and the histories of cloth making flowing within us. We all descend from ancestors who created cloth for function and beauty with the help of local water sources. Textile skills of spinning, weaving and dyeing with natural plant dyes have flowed from one generation to another for over 5,000 years. How can these creative traditions inspire us to care for the River today?Learn more at https://mwmo.org/weavingwater.
