This workshop series is inspired by quilting in the African American community as a way to share stories of perseverance and survival in the quilt squares. This workshop series will empower and build connections within the BIPOC community.
By participating in this workshop series, participants may find a sense of connection within the BIPOC community, share their stories of struggle and triumph, and learn how to document their story on a quilt using shapes and symbols. The finished quilt project will be hung in a temporary exhibit at the Albany Park Public Library. Participants will also have a creative project/product to take home after the workshop series.
This workshop series is open to anyone over the age of 18 that is a part of the BIPOC community that is not experiencing severe mental illness.
Meetings will occur in person at InTouch and Motion (4028 W. Irving Park Rd. Loft B Chicago IL, 60641).
