After a year of gathering over 1,300 photographs to celebrate the U=U message, we're ready to start stitching!
Please join us for one of our stitching parties as we sew and stitch the three large quilt panels together.
No experience is needed — everyone is welcome. All supplies and food will be provided (we’ll email you to check for any dietary requirements). Feel free to stay for the whole session or just drop in when you can.
Email ian.montgomery@positiveeast.org.uk if you have any questions or need more info.
We hope to see you there!
What is the U=U community quilt?
Positive East will create three 2,030mm x 2,030mm (6.5′ x 6.5′) quilt panels, comprised of thousands of selfies from the international community to help celebrate the powerful message of U=U.
The individual selfies, provided from around the world, will be printed on fabrics then stitched together, celebrating each individual and their contribution to the U=U movement.
Overlayed will be the three, but simple and powerful letters U = U. From far away these letters will be clearly visible, however as you approach the quilt panels, the letters will dissolve unfolding a diverse mosaic of individuals from our community.
The project is kindly supported by Arts Council England and the BHIVA Laura Waters Community Fund.
