Weaving Time

Weaving Time is an interactive installation that complements the "The Incas, Treasures of Peru" exhibition in Montreal, Canada. This experience invites visitors to engage with traditional Inca weaving practices in a creative and playful manner. Located at the end of the exhibition, Weaving Time allows visitors to "weave" patterns into a dynamic tapestry that wraps around the space. The installation features a table with 10 pattern tiles, a shuttle, and a tray containing 80 different pattern tiles, enabling visitors to arrange and create lines of patterns. These patterns are then projected onto the walls, transforming the room into an immersive, evolving tapestry. The process mirrors the operation of a traditional weaving loom, with each new pattern shifting the fabric’s design. The result is a collective creation, where every visitor’s input contributes to an ever-changing tapestry that appears to move and flow like real fabric. The project draws on original Inca woven patterns for research, ensuring authenticity in the representation of cultural heritage.
