Asiatopa - Home Bound
A public work by Luke George and Daniel Kok, in Home Bound diverse rope materials and practices are woven together to create a massive social tapestry. Members of different communities who do not typically share the same space collaborate to build a giant rope installation.
Over 15 days, craft specialists, community groups, and participants from the public will weave their materials, skills, stories, and histories together in a series of workshops and activities at the main forecourt of Arts Centre Melbourne. As the fibres intertwine, Home Bound enacts the social entanglement of life in Naarm-Melbourne. It is a choreography of knots that represents social dialogue, the negotiation of differences, and a testament to co-existence.
Home Bound is the ninth Betty Amsden Participation Program – large-scale community events designed to engage diverse communities, break cultural and economic barriers, inspire civic and public participation and build community pride. Over 15 days, Home Bound engaged over 300,000 audiences, with over 13,000 people taking part and participating in the project.
