Weaving Heritage is a new community project led by creative practitioner Shabeena Parveen. It will bring generations together through simple textile art and shared stories. Older residents will take part in sessions that explore identity, culture, and memories using upcycled fabric. Their stories will then shape creative workshops with young people, who will make their own textile pieces in response.

The project will support underrepresented groups, including first generation South Asian women. It aims to protect traditional skills, encourage sustainable making, and boost wellbeing. Weaving Heritage will create safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect and celebrate their heritage.
