Weaving Connections
Experience cultural connection, storytelling, and creativity through collaborative weaving with Dr Virginia Keft.
Dr. Virginia Keft’s Weaving Connections workshop series invites participants to explore identity, Culture, and community in a culturally safe and inclusive environment. Rooted in thousands of years of knowledge carried by women Elders, these workshops honor the past, reclaim stolen knowledge, and celebrate the power of shared stories and creativity.
Through weaving and yarning circles, participants will learn basic weaving techniques, share stories, and contribute to a collaborative artwork—a beautiful reflection of shared stories and connections. These workshops foster dialogue, healing, and connection, blurring the line between art and audience.
