CommUnity Quilt Project Barnet
About the project
The Community Quilt Project is a grassroots, non-affiliated initiative by people in Barnet. The project is aimed at fostering unity and standing against the racist and divisive rhetoric of the far-right and the systems that feed it.Through the collaborative creation of community quilts, this project seeks to celebrate and commemorate the diversity of Barnet, particularly welcoming and integrating refugees, asylum seekers and migrants.The quilts, composed of patches contributed by people of all ages and backgrounds, symbolise the unity and solidarity of the evolving community for years to come.We are hoping to organise a borrowing process for local groups to have access to and display the quilts. More information coming soon.
