Abolitionist Box, Fabric, wood, flowers, thread, 2022
These quilted curtains and rug were created by Nailah + Sam, cousins and abolitionists in MPLS. We created and quilted these tapestries with cross solidarity messages pertaining to issues and injustices in our community. These are issues that strike us as particularly relevant to transformations we hope to create in parks, as well is in every community including our own.The hanging curtains invoke drop banners used in protests, and the rug beneath grounds us in our values and dedication to the earth. Free zines for community resourcing can be found at the side of the gallery.
