This series of workshops uses textiles as a way to explore ideas of protection, safety, and belonging. Through an open workshop format, participants from different communities are invited to take part in a shared project. The workshops encourage participants to reflect on their hopes for the future and the changes they would like to see. Each session helps build a sense of community around the museum by offering a safe and welcoming space for collaboration. Participants will design and contribute a fabric square that will come together as part of a bigger picture, a larger quilt or blanket.
