Individual memory is built from many facets, mediated through different communication channels it incorporates perceptions transmitted from those with whom we have formative and on-going relationships, and the shared experiences (real, virtual or hyper-real) that form our collective cultural memory. Erll (2008) notes that the material (artefacts, media), the social (people, social relations, institutions), and the cognitive (culturally defined ways of thinking) contribute to the formation of cultural memory. Viewer interpretations of textiles and the context in which they are used or viewed, are informed by both individual memory and shared cultural memory, which act as triggers for the generation of shared perceptions that in semiotic terms reveal dominant cultural codes of meaning.

This article discusses how textile making can enhance the mental health and wellbeing of homeless and vulnerably housed residents as well as stimulating greater community exchange. The author uses the London-based ‘Home and Belonging’ arts programme as an action research case study to explore new methods for place-based textile engagement activities and how they can be utilised to enhance the social capital of urban neighbourhoods. As part of the programme a group of homeless and vulnerably housed residents mapped their personal journeys, explored their local neighbourhood and created a collection of upcycled chairs as well as bespoke textile designs. The positive effect of communal making activities becomes evident through visual data collection which demonstrates the increased confidence and self-esteem of the participants leading to reduced isolation as well as increased community engagement. The paper concludes to recommend the importance of community visibility in order to facilitate holistic urban fabric exchange.
