About this Event
The tablecloth serves as the common grounding thread for where people come together, share, and converse over food or drink, resulting in a patchwork of stories. The act of embroidery is a therapeutic shared activity. This practice is reminiscent of Dorcas Clubs & societies, embedded into Caribbean communities since the 19th century, and intended to bring women together through textiles as a network for social and economic change. In this workshop, participants are encouraged to embrace any mistakes that may occur and steer away from perfection. It is intended as a safe space; away from the added pressures of everyday life, which women and those of the global majority are often subject to.
