For you, what makes a place ‘home’? Mark the start of Hebridean Refugee Festival by answering this question as we build a large sphere together from foam board. The striking sculpture will take the familiar form of a football, constructed from interlocking hexagons and pentagons that symbolize unity and connection across borders. Each panel will tell a different story, coming together to form a complete whole, just as communities are strengthened by diversity. When the sphere is completed, a projection of Earth across its surfaces will be a powerful visual reminder that movement, resilience, and belonging are shared experiences, echoing the journeys of refugees while celebrating hope and solidarity.
This drop in session will be led by Moira Macdonald in An Lanntair’s Drum room. Come alone or with friends or family. Suitable for all ages. No need to book.
Part of Hebridean Refugee Festival for Refugee Festival Scotland. See the full programme of events running in Stornoway from 12 – 20 June.
