Overview:

25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee is an artistic statement from the international community about human displacement, on view at WMQFA from March 1 - July 28, 2024. Explore the creation, installation, and impact of this powerful exhibition with Jennifer Kim Sohn, the artist who conceived the project; panel makers and WMQFA volunteers Nina Edelman and Helen Lambron; WMQFA artist in residence Noora Badeen; and museum staff. The exhibition includes 25 million hand-sewn stitches, each representing a single displaced human being. The smaller panels are bound to 407 muslin banners. Building the physical representation of this statistic required participation from 2,300 stitches from 37 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
