Textile artist and teacher, Haf Weighton, standing in front of an embroidered tablecloth she made with refugees and asylum seekers at Oasis Cardiff – a charity founded in 2008 that aims to help refugees and asylum seekers. The photograph was taken at St Fagans National Museum of History, 9 September 2022.

In a series of workshops during April-May2022, clients of Oasis Cardiff contributed hand and machine-sewn depictions of plates of food – representing the food cultures of countries such as Albania, Honduras, Morocco, Russia, Sudan and Syria. The finished cloth was pieced together and finished by Haf Weighton.
