A public sphere proposal, interactive and dialogical by design was successfully executed for a three-month long Artist Residency called PAiR, between March-May 2023, at Perivale Library, London.

​

The community of the people who use the library and its facilities and living near the site were invited to come together to engage in a set of six workshops, facilitated by the artist to create this communal work of art called ‘Under the Canopy of Our Stories’. Which was installed in the community library for a proposed period.

​

The fundamental idea was to come together to create new (His)stories as a community.

​

Culminating to  gather and rejoice under it -celebrating the time spent in togetherness- chatting, laughing, sharing, sparking new friendships as well as strengthening the existing ones. 

​

The workshops were community-engaged sessions around learning skill-based creative processes, such as eco-printing, and tie-and-dye, through sustainable, eco-friendly methods, and homemade dyes.
