Visit Stitching Light in Bradford’s city centre which will be transformed by a collection of dazzling light installations and performances by local, national and international artists.
Over 6 inspiring sessions, ladies at BEAP Community Partnership in Bradford poured their memories, skills, and creativity into this unique artwork.
Stitching Light is a textile and light installation exploring Bangladeshi women’s migration to the UK. Stories are being collected from groups of Bangladeshi women who live in Tower Hamlets, Leeds, Bradford, Middlesbrough, Worcester and Salford who have a lived experience of this migration journey.
Their stories are being gathered and transcribed onto 16 x 3m high colourful painted textile panels, hand painted by a traditional folk artist based in Dhaka and hand stitched with light thread to highlight the journeys that they have taken.
The panels are arranged within a purpose-built 3D structure with soundscape which the audience can walk through and around to immerse themselves in these stories.
