Description
Wearable quilted identities
with Theodorus Johannes/ Queer Needlework Circle
As queer people, we choose deliberately to be visible or invisible via our often idiosyncratic clothing styles. But what are the symbols that we affiliate ourselves with? Symbols that are maybe invisible, but that can reveal a lot about our identity.
For this workshop, all are invited to join in crafting a wearable quilt segment, which can be joined together or worn on your body. Bring your own fabrics, threads, paints and stamps, fabric markers, and other materials with which to embellish your piece. Using words, symbols, and imagery, design your segment to speak about your individual and community values, your theory of change, and your alignment within activism(s).
You may bring the following: discarded fabrics, embroidery floss, paints, stamps, fabric markers, iron-ons and other appliques, sequins & glitter, buttons and ribbons, any craft materials you already have around the house.
