"Stitching the Situation is a documentation of lives, not just data."
COVID-19 has profoundly affected our world, in ways we did not anticipate and are yet discovering.
Stitching and creating offers quiet, meditative time to grieve. Working textiles alongside others is an ancient tradition, one that can soothe grief and loss by repetitive physical movements handling soft materials. The patterns created record the past and present, making some sense and structure out of chaos and conflicting emotions, in order to communicate and preserve these narratives for the future. It is an act of hope.
Stitching the Situation: Sew a Block!
Stitching the Situation invites people from all over the country to stitch a block (representing one day’s data) in a collaborative act of working together while physically apart. Free with registration.
