Between Roots and Strands
On Arbor Day, we celebrate the forest with our hands in the soil and our feet on the ground.
Each family is challenged to build a unique wooden loom, inspired by the trees that inhabit this territory. Wood - a living material with memory and texture - is the starting point for creating an object that combines structure, rhythm and delicacy.
The activity begins by observing the surrounding landscape: roots that support, trunks that rise, branches that intertwine. From this inspiration, they move on to making. With technical guidance, families will set up their own loom and experiment with interweaving natural fibers, creating small textile compositions that evoke the forest.
Between building and weaving, space is opened up for encounters - between generations, between matter and imagination, between nature and creation. Each loom will be more than an object: a symbolic way of celebrating the tree and the relationship between human beings and the natural world.
