Stitch and Resist

Posted on: Sun 11 Jul 2021

If you think that embroidery is only for refined young ladies, dedicated artists or old women then think again. The pieces on display at the city exhibition called Stitch and Resist bust that idea wide open. Embroidery is for everyone. Craftivism is for everyone. The exhibition is the brainchild of Nikki Sullivan, manager of the Centre of Democracy, one of 4 small museums run by the History Trust of SA.
