Stitching Solidarity

Stitching Solidarity creates an enclosed space out of quilts embroidered with images representing the lived experiences of young Muslim people. The cathartic dialogue within their hand-stitched memories reflects conflicting notions of belonging and citizenship that resonate with Muslim communities across the U.S.

Shimul Chowdhury is a multidisciplinary artist whose work engages social practice, highlighting the voices of Muslim and/or South Asian diasporas while subverting traditional textile and fiber craft practices. She’s probably knitting as you read this. Website Link
