Join us for our closing performance as we spin wool into yarn and tell stories of transformation from around the world.
Since the ancient times of mermaids and snake princes, we have always told tales about transformation – in lands far away, and close to home.
Join us to card and comb the wool and swap songs and stories from Somaliland, Hong Kong, England, Scotland and India, translated across 3 languages (Cantonese, Somali & English) and underscored with live music.
