Monument Quilt Workshop
25/11/2018 at 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
In recognition of International Day to Stop Violence Against Women, a workshop is being hosted to create a fabric square, inspired by the US Monument Quilt Project initiated by art collective, FORCE: Upsetting rape culture.
During the workshop, you will have a chance to work with a supportive community to add your personal experience to the quilt, and join the movement to create a public, healing space. You can sew, paint, write, or even iron your story or message of support onto a piece of red fabric. This is a free 3 hour workshop, supported by City of Ballarat through the curating program for Backspace Gallery. No experience is required.
Date: 25 November 2018
Time: 10am – 1pm (Morning Tea provided)
Cost: Free
Who: Survivors of Sexual and Domestic Abuse and Supporters
Where: Coco Room, Ballarat Welcome Centre, 145 Victoria Street, Ballarat East
Facilitator: Art therapist, Monica Finch
The squares will be exhibited in March 2019 at BEYOND 50%: ART AGAINST GENDER BASED VIOLENCE, an exhibition that explores art made for social change.
