In The Red Thread of Belonging, embroidery becomes a vibrant, collective artwork. Led by Haags Verhaal and developed in collaboration with Swiss artist Kathrin Stalder, this community arts project invites visitors to stitch their personal meaning of “home” with bright red thread onto small white cloths. Each stitch carries a memory, a longing, or a moment of connection. Together, these individual contributions form a growing installation that comes to life during the festival.
With every new piece, the artwork becomes a tangible, collective reflection on what home can mean – a truly Rotterdam story shaped by many voices and lived experiences.
