The Storytelling Cloak
October 18 at 7:00 pm - October 31 at 5:00 pm
| FreeInspired by the tradition of the storytelling cloak, this beautiful artwork is a stimulus for imagination, hopes and wishes, created by care-experienced young people from across the Liverpool City Region.
This patchwork of images has been created using a range of printmaking techniques and fabrics, brought together in a full-size wearable cloak. The images relate to poems, stories, and songs created by young people in Collective Encounters’ Summer Arts Adventure, and will inspire storytelling in our Social Change Cabaret and Digital Archive.
