Description

The Moving Meadow is a vibrant community art project that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Oldham’s South Asian community while responding to the harmful effects of climate change. It engages the women from The CHAI project in creating large puppets and artworks inspired by beloved aspects of nature and wildlife from the countries of their heritage, utilising the broad range of skills the ladies already bring to the table. The project culminates in a procession of animals and flowers significant to the group.
