Stitch + Resist

Stitch and Resist is a participatory craftivism* project designed to address the urgent question: How do we resist injustice, engage in the everyday practice of pluralist democracy - and take care of our wellbeing while in the midst of a global pandemic? One stitch at a time.

Students in years 4 to 11 are invited to join our in first ever online poetry challenge this month. Use poetry to answer what does local history mean to you? Why are objects important and why should we care? Why would a museum have that particular object on display? What’s the story?

Capturing and preserving objects and stories that make up present ensures our collections and museums remain relevant today and tomorrow. Nikki Sullivan from The Centre of Democracy explains the importance of contemporary collecting, particularly in times of disruption and change, in a recent blog.
