About this product

Product Information

A cultural milestone. Canada is home to immigrants from every nation in the world. Quilting artist Esther Bryan wanted to celebrate this fact, to promote a sense of greater belonging among these diverse groups. A quilt would be a collaborative, community-based project to celebrate cultural diversity. Each cultural group contributed one 11-inch square pieced into a giant quilt named the Quilt of Belonging. The quilt is approximately 120 feet long by 10 feet high (36 m by 3.5 m). It consists of 263 squares representing 71 Aboriginal groups and 192 immigrant nationalities found in Canada. The quilt includes fabric that has been appliqued, beaded, cross-stitched, embroidered, and hand-woven. The many cultural decorations include: Abalone shells Lithuanian amber Bobbin lace A brooch from Poland English wool Kente cloth from Ghana Porcupine quills, rabbit fur, sealskin, and smoked caribou hide 200-year-old German linen Worry dolls from Guatemala. The Quilt of Belonging will be exhibited in spring 2005 with an opening show at Canada's Museum of Civilization and then will become part of a traveling exhibit of stitches and stories that visits museums and community centers throughout Canada and beyond.

Table of Content
Foreword by George Heller, President and CEO, Hudson's Bay Company Introduction: The Invitation Project The Birth of a Dream Textile Treasures Creating Art in Community Stitches and Stories [Each of the 263 squares with it's story is illustrated on it's own page: "The vision of 'Invitation: The Quilt of Belonging' has been to create a collaborative work of art that recognizes the diversity of Canada and the world, while celebrating our common humanity and promoting harmony and compassion. "As each block was stitched, each story written, the makers shared their experiences. When glimpses of their lives emerged we came to understand that everyone has been shaped by past experiences. We learned that each human is unique and that the variety of points of view enriches our world, yet we have so much in common that we can live as one family, caring for one another."] Acknowledgments Bibliography Index
