Inspired by Karolin Schwab’s ‘Floating Home’ and the historic pattern template used by the artist Anja Schwörer for her artwork, an open, participatory project for all generations is taking shape.

From a template printed in delicate shades of grey, many hands are transforming it into a colourful collaborative work. Flowers are coloured in, thoughts are recorded and brought together to form new patterns. In this way, personal contributions weave together to create a vibrant picture of togetherness.

At the heart of the project is the question of what connects people and gives a community the strength to flourish. The answers gradually blossom into flowers – diverse, individual and created together.

The event is complemented by the participatory installation ‘Floating Home – Weave Your Horizon’, which invites visitors to visualise their ideas of home, belonging and settling in. Anyone who wishes to can also have a button embossed with the historical pattern and take home a memento of the Purple Path.

A project for discovery, participation and reflection – at the intersection of art, craft and lived community.
