(UN) common Patchwork at Agora in Afro Banana Festival 2024

It was a total blast: This incredible action happened at AfroBanana Festival. We brought 150 kilos of fabric donated by Sipone Textiles, George Kyrou, Georgia Moditi and Monica Hadjivasileiou where a production space was created within our Agora Structure where a huge patchwork was created in an ongoing process throughout the three days of the festival. We’re turning this gorgeous creation into a shading device to be installed at the first reception centre for the children’s playground of asylum seekers at Pournara camp. Special Thanks to our sewing power women Maria Pappa, Nade Justina, and Marley.

A project organised by Urban Gorillas and Dj Cotsios o Pikatillis (ABR).
