Hailey Weber X 30 Birds X The 525
This project brought both Afghan and Canadian women together to create a massive soak-stain quilt, merging feminist abstraction with textile traditions. The 40 foot painted quilt sculpture is immersive, its scale invites you to walk inside to experience layered colors and textures that evoke intimacy and resilience. Each patch speaks to stories of matriarchal memory, cross-cultural dialogue, and collective care. It stands as a living archive of shared labor and creativity, inviting reflection on the beauty of interwoven identities and histories.
