Travis Meinolf is an ‘action weaver’ who travels around the world engaging communities in interactive weaving, drawing on human connections, conversations and stories and embeds them into cloth woven on the move. He is interested in the symbolism and meaning of cloth and has been observing the way people in Libya are representing themselves through sewing their own flags. As part of an event organised by ‘Curious About Craft’, he will work with the local community in Birmingham.
