Cwilt Utopias Bach Quilt

The idea of Cwilt Utopias Bach Quilt came from our Collaboratory in September, where, in partnership with Rewilding the Artist, we were discussing how we might embody our Utopias Bach evolving ‘feel, experience, invitation, system, policies, etiquette, cultures’ rather than having a dry set of ‘fixed’ paper-based policies and descriptions.

The idea is that you, as a member of the Utopias Bach community, are invited to make some kind of contribution to the Quilt. These will at some point be brought together (or not!) in some way.

Join the Quilting Circle!

We will be working individually at home, and having zoom and in-person meet ups too, quilting over conversation, over the winter 2023/4. See our events page for the next sessions - each Collaboratory will encourage quilting while conversing!

There are no rights or wrongs (the more different approaches and ideas the better!), and how we do it and what results will be constantly evolving.

Here is a summary conversation (4.12.23) as an introduction to where we’ve got to:

And in this quilting sound piece, Ellen Davies quilts voices (from the introduction above) to create beat, melody and sounds
