Unity Project - Fibre Art Installation

UNITY is an interactive art installation that is a circular arrangement of 32 poles. Each pole is labeled with an identifier. During the Kaleido Festival weekend, participants will tie yarn around each pole with which they identify. As more people participate, a canopy of interconnectedness will be formed. We hope for people to see that we are all connected by something.

A big thanks to ATB for sponsoring this project and helping the community come together.
