PROJECT TAMBALAN
Yogyakarta, indonesia / wales, uk
Project Tambalan
Makers Guild Wales is delighted to be the host of a series of free workshops and talks this summer in support of the Tambalan Project .
The Tambalan project brings together artists from Wales and Indonesia alongside local communities to explore disability rights, identity, care work and social equality through the power of art, reflection and conversation.
The project’s name is inspired by the Javanese tambal motif- an historic batik pattern of triangles and geometric grids meaning “to patch” or “to mend” to promote healing and restoration.
