This tapestry, imagined at the CIAP-Vassivière art center, is a collaborative project made with asylum-seekers from Guinea, Senegal, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and French volunteers of Montagne Accueil Solidarité association in Limousin, France. This territory is marked by a traditional French craft: Aubusson Tapestry. Over the last five centuries, main woven subjects were imaginary plant landscapes called “Verdures”. This project seeked to produce a new common imaginary through times of sharing and collective creation, asking what could be today's Verdure at a time of multiple ecological and social crises? From here or over there, the plants were an opportunity to remember, to recall and to share an emotional memory, characteristic of a distant territory left behind, a family history, an intimate memory. verdure commune transmits a new imagination, composed of both intimate productions and exchanges, revealing a common, varied and precious biodiversity. The tapestry was woven at Neolice and presented at the art center CIAP-Vassivière from December 2022 to March 2023.
