Grief Quilt for Palestine

Join us for a very special opportunity to take part in a quilting bee for the Grief Quilt for Palestine. A collective action to show solidarity and support for Palestinians. ------------------ Sunday 15th September 2 - 5pm ------------------- "Inspired by the long tradition of burial and memory quilts, Jess (a teacher at UCL at the time) and Jamila (then a student at UCL) created a community grief quilt where visitors, to an exhibition at the Slade, could stitch their rage, hope, and solidarity. Our Grief Quilt for Palestine affirms that Palestinians will exist, beloved in the future." We are delighted to host the quilt for the duration of the Protest by Design exhibition.
