'threads - weaving stories' is delighted to announce our exhibition, 'Resilience', with the world-renowned Red Dress Embroidery Project, an intricately embroidered silk dress that has been co-created by artists and individuals, largely women, from across the globe, many of whom are vulnerable and / or living in significant poverty.
The Red Dress, curated by Kirstie McLeod, is part of a collaboration with Emma Bevan, Kiz Davies, Carol Kay, Kerri Thomas and Mary Wrenn.
