Informazioni sul libro
This photo-rich book documents the creation of the Creativity for Peace Quilt, stitched from indigo batik blocks by Palestinian, Jewish Israeli, and American young women. The Quilt was the result of a workshop held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a collaboration between the Museum of International Folk Art’s Gallery of Conscience, Creativity for Peace, and Yoruba-Nigerian master indigo-resist dye artist, Gasali Adeyemo. Each of the 28 young woman designed a fabric block, exploring the themes of home and belonging, and living between worlds. In creating the blocks, workshop participants drew from their own experience and responded to the Gallery of Conscience exhibition, Between Two Worlds: Folk Artists Reflect on the Immigrant Experience. The book contains stories of the young women’s blocks and reflections on the workshop by Gasali Adeyemo and the Creativity for Peace and Gallery of Conscience project coordinators.
