Workshop Panel discussion 

In each of the eleven Dutch provinces, inhabitants of The Netherlands can work together on an impressive tapestry that visualizes the regional history of our colonial past. From February 2025 people will work on a 35 meter long, stained-glass inspired tapestry designed by artist Marcos Kueh. The final artwork will be exhibited at the Grote Kerk in The Hague and will travel trough the province afterwards.

In July you can collaborate on this special artwork at Nest three days a week. Wether or not you have experience, you can come and work on a piece of the tapestry. Every day there will be an expert in the field of textile to guide you.

Registering is not needed: you can walk in whenever Nest is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
