What does hope mean to you?, the latest news from Kinetika

‘What does hope mean to you?’ is one of the questions we’ve been returning to since the beginning of Mountains of Hope – a project co-created with communities along the Lebanon Mountain Trail and resulting in 27 hand-painted silks. As this work continues against the backdrop of ongoing tension in Lebanon, the question of hope feels neither abstract nor rhetorical, but deeply lived and immediate.

In April, we will walk the trail to carry these silks back through the landscapes and communities that shaped them, continuing conversations around hope, place and what becomes possible when stories are held and shared collectively. Alongside this, we’ve begun new work closer to home, including a commission in Wrexham for the Museum of Two Halves, where communities are shaping large-scale silk banners celebrating heritage and football culture.
