Social Justice Stitched Stories: Stitching Together Our Community Voices in the 21st Century Sewing Circle

This year-long initiative engaged local students and community members with Stitch Buffalo’s refugee women artists, staff, and volunteers in a collaborative textile arts project. In a process facilitated by diversity and inclusion professionals, participants were guided through an examination of social justice issues (such as racism, discrimination, gun violence, socioeconomic and educational inequity, xenophobia, cultural barriers, stereotyping, and mental health) and developed their own art pieces in response. In this exhibit, we’re excited to debut the results!
