Event | The Fabric of Protest

This month:

We will connect to UK Disability History Month (16 November – 16 December 2022), responding to the theme of Disability, Health and Well Being.

We will have an introduction to the museum’s upcoming Nothing About Us Without Us Disabled people’s activism: past, present and future exhibition from one of the exhibition’s Community Curators.

We will make a patched block or square using strips of fabric. These strips when put together make a visual representation of barriers to access that create disability.

All textile abilities welcome, suitable for ages 11+ (under 18s must have an accompanying adult).

Our accompanying resource will support you to continue making in your home setting.

• Takes place on Zoom; joining details will be emailed one hour before the session
• Please let us know as soon as possible if you require British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation and/or Audio Description by contacting: lisa.gillen@phm.org.uk or 0161 838 9190

Part of PHM’s co-curated programme of activity exploring the history of disabled people’s rights and activism.
