About this Event

Join Dr Gemma McKenzie and Craft Forward for a hands-on crochet workshop inspired by the exhibition Threads of Protest

Building on the historic use of thread as a form of protest in women’s art, the exhibition uses crochet as a practical and accessible creative language to communicate experiences that are often unheard. Through collective making, individual stories come together to form a shared call for improved human rights in maternity care. 

During the workshop, participants will crochet granny squares while exploring themes of community, collective storytelling and social change. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. 

Dr Gemma McKenzie, researcher in human rights in childbirth and founder of the research project and exhibition, Threads of Protest.

Craft Forward is a London-based not-for-profit, providing accessible, creative experiences for everyone facilitating workshops that aim to have meaningful social impact.
