Woven Cities (Tapestries)

Woven Cities, heraldic tapestries

Woven Cities is a series of heraldic tapestries featuring contemporary city coats of arms. In this project, we explore the heraldry of today's urbanized society. The modern coats of arms consist of (combinations of) relevant and characteristic mottos, symbols, logos, and icons. Each coat of arms contains around a hundred references (photos by Jan Bijl).
