On Friday 13th December 2024 the Weavers brought our Into the Wyld journey at the Williamson Art Gallery to a spellbinding close.

Performed by Silvia Battista, Amodali and Alice Colquhoun with costumes by Nick Ball, this remarkable shared event fulfilled the end of the cycle of Sir Gawain’s rite of passage in a celebration of the feminine and masculine powers finally coming together – in the depth of winter and in the heat of the underworld.

In what was a truly unique experience, the theatrical, the ritualistic and the ceremonial were carefully crafted through sound, voice, storytelling and presence.

The Weavers was inspired by Morgan Le Fay, the weaver of the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and concluded the great adventure of Into the Wyld to honour and salute the work of all the artists, thinkers and makers who participated in our incredible journey.

Thank you to everyone who has made this journey possible.

The Weavers was conceived by Silvia Battista and devised with Alice Colquhoun and Amodali.

‘The Weavers’ was a programme of live art, talks, workshops and readings curated by Dr Silvia Battista as part of Into The Wyld at Williamson Art Gallery. The Weavers program is supported by Liverpool Hope University.
