Patches of Home
Linked to our audio installation stories, Cub & Seedling, we are excited to be working with local people in Northampton, Kettering & Corby to create their own textile squares inspired by their own family heritage. These creations are being displayed in shared in pop-up installations in Northampton (5 - 14 April 2024) and Oakham (24 May - 2 June 2024).
Patches of Home is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, Constance Travis Endowment Fund (Northamptonshire Community Foundation) and National Lottery Community Fund.
