Carlin\, and Diana Weymar will jury the show and a print catalogue will be created. \nWe are particularly (but not solely) interested in works that showcase collaboration and focus on building a sense of shared community. That may include collaboration between two or more artists\, two or more communities\, or crowd-sourced projects. Sewing that joins people and ideas link us to historical social and political sewing circles from the abolitionist movement of the 1800s\, to the corporate resistant DIY movement kindled by the Riots Grrrls in the 1990s\, to the knitting collectives of today that focus on the anti-war\, pro-science\, and pro-choice movements. In addition\, you may draw inspiration from the embroidered books of the Victorian period\, the rise of needlecrafts during the Arts & Crafts period\, and family traditions of sewing by machine or hand stitching. \nThis exhibition will include pages from Diana Weymar’s Interwoven Stories project.
