Weaving Narratives Opening Event

12.30-14.30pm.
Location: University of Bristol, Ivy Gate, University of Bristol.
Free, donations welcome. 

Join us to celebrate the outcomes of Weaving Narratives, a collaborative project led by artists Nilupa Yasmin and Jessa Fairbrother as part of Brigstow Institute’s (University of Bristol) city-wide Co-stitch project. The project brings researchers and community groups together, exploring communal stitching (embroidery, quilting, mending) as a form of storytelling. Throughout summer 2023, Yasmin and Fairbrother worked with community groups across the city, with a particular focus on diasporic communities who have arrived in Bristol seeking refuge. Join us to celebrate the outcomes of the work.
