Refugee Artisans of Worcester: Helping Local Refugee Artisans
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerWorcester Massachusetts is home to one of the largest refugee populations in the - state. A subset of these refugees are artisans which rely on their craft to preserve their - culture and identity. We worked with Refugee Artisans of Worcester to adapt floor looms - for refugee weavers so they can continue their craft. Through our semi-standardized - interviews, direct observations, and home visits with the weavers, we identified their - needs in looms and understood the role weaving plays in their lives. Additionally, we - assessed our resources and reached out to the community to gather necessary materials - and information for loom adaptations. Ultimately, we adapted four looms, created an - instructional video documenting our work, secured a donated portable loom for - demonstration purposes, and contributed to the preservation of the refugees’ culture - and identity
