The Mossy Carpet with the Art & Energy Collective | Barnstaple Library

Details

The Mossy Carpet, organized by the Art & Energy Collective, is a mass participation massive artwork project inspired by mosses. Over 8000 people of all ages have contributed to creating a 19m mossy carpet so far. The collective aims to involve over 100,000 individuals and produce a 100m carpet by 2025, seeking all the assistance available. Participants will also have the chance to share their small environmental actions via the Tardigrade telephone while working on the project. Tardigrades, resilient microscopic creatures living in moss, will capture your messages and later vocalize them from the completed carpet as part of the artwork. If you wish to donate wool to the project, kindly bring it to the event. Moreover, attendees can bring any moss-inspired woolly pompoms they have crafted at home to the drop-off point during the event. Join in this creative endeavor at Barnstaple Library on Tuly Street, Barnstaple, EX31 1EL, on April 13, 2024, with free admission.
