Daniel Kok & Luke George: Home Bound

Lees in het Nederlands

Over 10 days, Neude transforms into Home Bound as artists, craftspeople, and community groups weave diverse rope materials and their stories together to build a giant rope installation. As fibres intertwine, communities who do not typically share the same space collaborate in a choreography of knots that represents the social dialogue in the Netherlands. You’re invited to enter the woven landscape, witness the makers, learn their skills, hear their stories, or add your own hands to this growing tapestry, woven by and for Utrecht.

In Home Bound, diverse rope materials and practices are woven together to form a massive social tapestry. Members of different communities — knitters, scouts, shibari practitioners — who don’t usually share the same space collaborate to build a giant rope installation.

Over ten days, craft specialists, community groups, and members of the public will weave their materials, skills, stories, and histories together through workshops and activities at Neude Square.

As the fibres intertwine, Home Bound enacts the social entanglement of life in Utrecht. It is a choreography of knots that represents social dialogue, negotiation of differences, and a testament to co-existence.

You are invited to get involved by donating materials, observing the creation process, or partaking in workshops to help shape the tapestry themselves.
