All Ah We is One: Caribbean Carnival Costume
All Ah We is One: Caribbean Carnival Costume
Caribbean Carnivals have been taking place around the UK since 1959. These joyous celebrations of culture and community began as acts of resistance in the face of enslavement — a defiant stand from communities who refused to lose who they were and where they came from. Drawing from this rich and radical history, Aislin

Diasporic Threads: Black Women, Fibre and Textiles

Softness: A Meditation on Knitting
Softness: A Meditation on Knitting
Unravelling the semantics of the ugly jumper, the ratty cardigan and the squishy mittens. Softness is a poetic reflection on hand-knitting and the neglected objects that give us nourishment. A straggly jumper, shrunken in a hot wash. A frayed sleeve, mended with different wool. A garish sweater, coffee-stained but deci

Stitching the Intifada: Embroidery and Resistance in Palestine
Tatreez — elaborate hand-embroidery — is an ancient Palestinian craft characterised by remarkable beauty and complexity.

Many Hands Make A Quilt Second Edition by Public Library Quilts 🧵

Stitching Freedom: Embroidery and Incarceration
Stitching Freedom: Embroidery and Incarceration
For centuries, people have stitched in good times and in bad, finding strength in the needle moving in and out of fabric. Stitching Freedom explores the embroidery made in prisons and mental health hospitals — those who have embroidered to distract, to reflect or to calm. From Mary, Queen of Scots to Lorina Bulwer, emb
