of Awe & Wonder, a very special flag-making project for our
times, which visually and colourfully captures and celebrates all
that is AWE-some and WONDER-full about our Holbeck &
South Leeds communities!
a collection of handmade silk pennant flags which will represent and celebrate the human
experience of awe, which is by far the least scientifically researched emotion, capturing
images of the wonder-full and the awe-some which we find all around us every day,
right on our doorsteps.
Together, we’ll explore all the ways we connect
to awe and wonder: including by being
outdoors in nature (a garden, a park,
a local green space), connecting with other
people (finding awe in the moral beauty, kindness
and courage of others), in spirituality or our
own religious practice, or through music.
And these are just some examples!
We warmly invite you to join us in bringing our collective attention to everyday sources
of awe and wonder, recording the things we find awe-some and wonder-full around us,
whether that’s by taking a photograph, writing some words, or a drawing or sketch.
Together, we’ll translate these into images which will be hand-painted onto silk pennant
flags, using batik techniques. Don’t worry if you’ve never done anything like this before:
no experience necessary! By creating a series of vibrant and colourful flags in celebration
of what we discover, we will make a community resource to be presented, displayed and
enjoyed at outdoor events for years to come.
then back to The Warehouse to start working on pennant flag designs.
