ART CLIMATE PROJECT

Weave of Hope

Combine creativity and solidarity into a tapestry of resistance for fighting the climate crisis


Bahasa Indonesia | Bengali Language | Chinese Language

Asia is well known for its diversity. We have a long history of maintaining a complex set of cultures and traditions.

Our traditions also represent how the community captures the significance of our surroundings into the art. Most of the patterns being embedded into the design are taken from what they see every day which symbolizes the nature and environment they live in.
That’s including how we present ourselves through appearance. In every corner of Asia, we shared common practices of weaving threads and turning them into clothes.
We have “Sarong” from Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. In Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore we have “Batik”. In those countries, they also known “Ikat” as one of the oldest weaving technique.
In South Asia, we have the “Saree”. This vibrant ethnic attire is one of the oldest forms of clothing in the world, and although it’s mostly worn by Indian women, it’s also common in Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and many other South Asian countries
350.org in Asia would like to capture that unity in diversity, by inviting artists to show their respective weaves and pattern, digitally.
We would like to weave that creativity and solidarity into a tapestry that brings us together.
In the end, we hope the weave of the collectives works can be a “cloth” that protects and secure us all.
The cloth that brings warmth and unites us in solidarity.
