Home BoundLuke George and Daniel Kok

In Home Bound, diverse rope materials and practices are woven together to create a massive social tapestry. Members of different communities who do not typically share the same space collaborate to build a giant rope installation.

Over 15 days, craft specialists, community groups, and participants from the public will weave their materials, skills, stories, and histories together in a series of workshops and activities at the main forecourt of Arts Centre Melbourne.

As the fibres intertwine, Home Bound enacts the social entanglement of life in Naarm-Melbourne. It is a choreography of knots that represents social dialogue, the negotiation of differences, and a testament to co-existence. You’re invited to get involved by donating materials, watching the creation process or partaking in workshops to help create the tapestry itself.

Home Bound is the ninth Betty Amsden Participation Program – large-scale community events designed to engage diverse communities, break cultural and economic barriers, inspire civic and public participation and build community pride.
