All Us Women is a textile project in the Rooftop Foyer facilitated by artist Janey Moffatt. It has explored violence against women and our ability to heal after devastation.
The project uses everyday textiles, from napkins to pre-loved clothing. Such textiles are embedded with the stories and imprint of the people who once wore and touched them. These items are with us throughout our lives: holding, containing and wrapping our bodies – fundamental to how we protect ourselves as we walk through this world.
The project has supported women in reclaiming their narratives and has carefully cultivated safe spaces in which to do so. The participants have sat round tables and cried and ate chocolate and stitched. You can watch a one-minute video of this exhibition by clicking here.
A sister exhibition is currently on display at Flowerfield Arts Centre, Northern Ireland.
