GET INVOLVED!
Identify & contribute a piece of fabric or textile to be included in this public art installation. Explore your personal and/or family history through clothing and textiles. Think about how fabric and fashion can represent a story to you and your community. The artist is collecting 8” x 8” fabric or textile pieces (or similar size) to be used to create his final artwork. We need community members to donate these pieces that ultimately will become a piece of public art seen at the corner of RT18 & Union Street in New Bedford, MA this summer.
GUIDING QUESTIONS:
What fabric is important to you or your family? How is it used? How might it represent your culture and/or identity?
