The Maya Community Embroidering Resistance - Schools for Chiapas

The Maya Train has placed the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto on a path of accelerated development that, so far, has only brought them insecurity. Determined to defend their culture, at the Maya School of the U Kúuchil K Ch’i’ibalo’on community center, children are weaving their own history as a way to protect their identity and their territory.

Schools for Chiapas

Next week I will be speaking about my queer embroidery research and care practices for community-based participatory design research projects at this awesome event.

Stitching the Future: Weaving and Quilting and Embroidery for Collective Survival | Events - Concordia University

Please join us in the JOYLab for a community-centred workshop where participants create hand-stitched patches and embroidery that imagine futures beyond extraction, domination, and erasure.

I've been running a stitch n' bitch for fun and it helped me to finish this embroidery I started like 2 years ago and kept forgetting about.

Hand-stitched a Shure 55SH mic, better known as the Elvis mic as part of my new music collection. Really happy with how it turned out. it's 1 of 4 new designs I've made over the past few months.

Of course when I went looking for the Carrickmacross scissors (special tiny ones with one duck-bill side so you don't cut your netting, which I did on the first piece)--I found myself unable to resist another pair of #embroidery scissors too.

I got the 1892 reproduction #Salem #Witch ones.

Trying! #Embroidery
This Ol’ House, Bakewell Old House Museum – limited edition print – Cognissart

Framing prints for the @peakdistrictartisans #WinterArtFair today - with a dodgy thumb (albeit in a slightly smaller new dressing) is an experience! I won't have the original of my latest piece "This 'Ol House" with me this weekend, as it was a commission and already sold. But I will have full size and miniature giclee prints. Luckily I had signed them before the mandolin incident!

'Whatever you do, it can work as social glue, become a visible political protest. But the best of all: in participating, you are no longer isolated, you became part of a group or movement. And all these tiny parts form something big enough that others can’t overlook it any more.'
