Abstract

This report is the account of a one-day workshop aimed at exploring how meanings of textiles could be connected to understandings of peace, with a focus on Afghan Communities based in Scotland. The overall objective of the day was to create a safe and dialogical space where the participants could identify and explore key themes that could become the focal points of an AHRC funded research proposal. Members of the Afghan Community based in Scotland, people working with them, and artists/experts in textiles were invited to take part in workshop. The workshop findings highlighted a keen interest on the participants’ side to further investigate the connections between peace and textile through co-constructive approaches.
