Reweaving Stories This gathering invites participants to explore the personal and collective narratives woven into our wardrobes. Through conversation and hands-on needlework, we will reflect on our relationships with clothing, uncover forgotten stories, and reimagine our connections to the textiles we wear every day. By learning simple repair and embellishment techniques, we will not only revive essential skills but also rekindle a more mindful and intimate bond with our clothing. The clothes we wear tell our stories: who we are, who we want to be, and what we belong to. Historically, these stories were deeply rooted in place, shaped by local textile traditions and passed down through generations. Yet, as clothing production has become distant and industrialised, many of us have lost the skills to care for and connect with our garments. The workshop will start with a tour of the gallery, followed by an activity exploring our identity through our wardorbe. You’ll learn simple mending techniques to repair and personalise your clothes. No experience needed—materials and guidance will be provided! Please bring an item to repair! Free event- donations encouraged, they mean we can run more events like this in the future!

Bristol Premiere of Ceibo and Q&A with Maddie Meddings and Lucy Small Join us for the Bristol premiere ofCeibowhich follows surfers Pacha Light and Lucy Small as they journey across Ecuador to learn how we can better coexist with our planet. What is the cost of our consumption? It’s replacing the precious marine life in our oceans with plastic, poisoning our rivers and destroying communities as our demand for new technology escalates and our dependence on fossil fuels continues to expand. What can we learn from women in Ecuador where they are deeply connected to their landscapes and communities and where these impacts are felt first? From the land rights struggles of the Andes and the Amazon, to an Olympic surfer who has carved out a path for women, to the fight to protect the waters of the Galapagos Islands, Ceibo explores some of the most important struggles of our time. Along the way, Pacha untangles her own evolving identity as she reconnects with her Ecuadorian roots and embraces what it means to be Ecuadorian. £1 from each ticket will be donated to our impact partnerswho are doing critical work in the regions of Ecuador where the film is made. We also encourage you to buy a raffle ticket for additional support for these organisations. Tickets will be available to purchase online before the event and on the night.
