- Oct 138:00 AMSecurity Blanket ExhibitionSecurity Blanket is a collaborative women's art project that stitches together a broad range of issues of concern to women and families. The organizers Lynn Estomin and Andrea Tuttle Kornbluh invited 30 artists and quilters to collaborate on an artwork modeled on a baby quilt. The quilt demonstrates how abortion rights are nestled within a range of needs which a just society would publicly fund, and which would benefit society as a whole. Each artist/quilter chose an issue of concern starting with a particular letter of the alphabet and then designed a block illustrating that issue. As a whole, the quilt offers an ABC guide to a more just and equitable society. The Security Blanket quilt is traveling to communities across the country, sparking dialogue and reflection on the interconnected needs of women and families in a just society. Each exhibition offers an opportunity for viewers to experience the artwork firsthand, engage with the issues it represents, and connect with others working toward equity and human rights. This project is sponsored by The Women's Film Project and is traveling across the US.
