York festival of ideas

We facilitated a pop-up exhibition and embroidery workshop for York Festival of Ideas at St Saviourgate in York. We also gave a talk about the background and purpose behind the project alongside Dr Louise Richardson, a senior lecturer in Philosophy from the University of York, and Hayley Mills-Styles, textile artist and PG sitter.

A recording of the talk is available here.

The embroidery workshops saw people of all ages and walks of life come together to make a memory hoop. Through embroidery, participants honoured special people, places and particular memories.
