Held/Hold uses crochet as a series of interlocking loops to represent community and the act of swinging as an act of belonging. Participants were invited to swing for a period of time and notice how they felt. They could then record these feelings on the chalkboard adjacent to the swing. Held/Hold explores ideas of community, trust, and collective healing.
