WE STAND IN LOVE | QUEER NEEDLEWORK CIRCLE

The growing art quilt WE STAND IN LOVE is coming to Utrecht in November! When in 2021 the far-right group Feyenoord Zero Tolerance spoke out against the Roze Kameraden (the Feyenoord LGBTQIA+ support group), it was time for action. The participants of the Queer Needlework Circle picked up their embroidery needles and invited others to work together on WE STAND IN LOVE – a colourful quilt that pays tribute to love, compassion and tolerance. Embroider with us! Every day is dedicated to a theme for which different artists are invited.
