Social Fabric Volume 1
In Summer of 2022, I sent out a call – in person, through flyers cross the Twin Cities, MN, and on social media – asking for submission in any medium, responding to the following questions: what stories, memories, and connections are in the textiles that live in your home and next to your skin? How do these objects connect you to other people and to the Earth? What truths are revealed through your objects? What are their powers?
As submissions came in, I was happily shocked how many people resonated with the prompt. The project grew bigger than my own expectations into Social Fabric: the Lives of our Beloved Textiles, an anthology zine. This project was made possible through support from Springboard for the Arts, Racing Magpie, the Creative Community Leadership Institute (CCLI), and through the enthusiasm of the wider community.
