Gathering Stitch Exhibition

Join our celebration of ways that women can use textiles to speak, protest and build community!

Gathering Stitch Exhibition, Thursday 13th of October to Saturday 4th February, GWL, Free

Launch: Thursday 13th October, 6pm to 7:30pm

This exhibition showcases a beautiful new textile piece made by survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, alongside examples of women’s textiles from our archives.

At the launch, we will host an intro and Q&A about the Survivor Arts Community project that led to this exhibition, which was facilitated by Wild & Kind Studios, Glasgow Women’s Library and Paria M. Goodarzi.

On Tuesday 6th December there will be a Sensory Materials Workshop inspired by the Gathering Stitch exhibition and taking place among the work. This textiles workshop, facilitated by interdisciplinary artist Zana Araki, will explore sense-led making using scent, tactility and sound elements to express, soothe and promote an open dialogue for mental and physical wellbeing.
