A Whimsical, Wearable Art Installation
Step into a hands-on experience where art, sustainability, and storytelling come to life.
The Living Loom is a whimsical fusion of performance art and participatory craft.
Picture a seamstress at a pedal-powered sewing machine, stitching recycled fabric with stories sketched by the public – all brought to life by the audience’s own pedalling.
