About the project:
Creating links between the artists, the libraries and the participants, this project consists of a series of workshops which will culminate in two paper-based installations at Andover and Romsey libraries. Combining the practices of drawing and writing this project will reveal the hidden connections that are accessible to anyone in the threads and traces of drawing and writing processes. These processes we will share with you so you can experience your own meaningful connections. Through group activities, a community dialogue will emerge and become a work of art. Participants can take part in all activities and events free of charge. This project is brought to you by Hampshire Libraries and Test Valley Borough Council with funding from Arts Council England.
