Adventures of the ‘village carpet’ of Szalatnak

The community artwork ‘The Szalatnak Village Carpet’, created in May 2024, has returned home after an international journey.

Thanks to textile artist Rosa Smits, who facilitated the weaving process, the piece was featured in two exhibitions in Amsterdam.

It was first presented in 2025 at the prestigious De Waag venue as part of the GLUE Design Route, and later at the café of Museum Het Schip as part of the artist’s solo exhibition, Collective Weavings (2025–2026).

The work was created with the participation of residents of Szalatnak and visitors to the village within the framework of the Erasmus+ project Weaving Voices as Threads of Community, organized by Sinum Theatre. It is currently on display at the village municipal office.

The book

This book is thus an attempt to put lived experience into words and
verbalise the nonverbal learnings of the innumerable rich moments of
the Weaving Voices workshops. It also means to capture the diversity
of experiences that individuals and groups representing different
performance and textile traditions have had over the seven workshop
weeks, the two community art residencies, several local encounters and
virtual meetings of the partners.

The “Weaving Voices as Threads of Communities” book is the main result of our Erasmus plus project and now it is available now online:

Weaving Voices as threads of communites

The book will remain available with free access on our page:

This is how the Weaving Voices project ended

The Weaving Voices Erasmus+ project ended in 2024 with eight Dissemination Events in six countries: England, Sweden, Holland, France, Germany, Hungary.

The purpose of the events was to share the results of the Weaving Voices project in the frame of an exhibition (photos, woven carpets, videos, plant dyed textiles…etc) and present the “Weaving Voices as threads of communities” which is the main result of the two years long international cooperation.

During the series of these events the partnership shared also practical work on the field of weaving and singing methodologies.
