Join Sheila Dawkins, who worked on the Bristol tapestry in 1976, as she shares the story of the people whose passion project it was.
The Bristol Tapestry was the idea of Mrs Jean Tanner and Mrs Marjorie Bleasedale, who in the late 1960s wanted to record important events from the city’s past. The events chosen and the story they tell reflect the time at which the tapestry was made.
Since 1976, more people have become aware of the negative impacts of Bristol’s participation in and profit from colonisation and the Transatlantic Traffic in Enslaved Africans. A tapestry made today might better reflect the contributions of a wider range of people to Bristol’s history.
