In this collaborative art experience, youth explore the relationship between identity and a sense of belonging. Each person receives a strip of canvas fabric and reflects on a word or short phrase that represents a part of their identity and what they bring to the community. After writing their identity word(s) and using paint to visually express their identity, all strips are tied to a large stick or branch to create a unified tapestry. The final artwork visually represents how each individual’s uniqueness strengthens the sense of belonging within the whole group.
