Description
25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee is an artistic statement from the international community about human desplacement, immigration, and solidarity. It is an aggregation of 25 million hand-sewn stitches, each representing a single displaced human being as counted in the UN's High Commissioner on Refugees 2019 report. The stitches are bound to 407 muslin banners, each 14' long. Building this physical representation of this statistic required participation from 2,300 stitches from 37 countries, all 50 US states.
25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee runs from March 1, 2024, through July 28, 2024.
