RED DRESS: CONVERSATIONS IN STITCH (QUICKTHORN) (PB)

The Red Dress project, conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, offers a platform for people, mostly women, who are vulnerable and live in poverty to share their stories through embroidery. The completed Red Dress travelled for 14.5 years and was embroidered by 367 women/girls, 7 men/boys, and 2 non-binary artists from 51 countries. All 141 commissioned artisans were paid for their work and received annual donations from exhibition fees and merchandise profit. Additional small embroideries were added by participants and audiences at various events.
