About

Stitching Light is a textile and light installation exploring Bangladeshi women’s migration to the UK. Collaborating with women in Bradford, Tower Hamlets, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Worcester and Salford who have a lived experience of this migration journey, the stories have been interpreted into highly colourful  textile panels, hand painted by a traditional folk artist based in Dhaka and handstitched with light thread.

The panels are arranged within a purpose-built 3D structure with soundscape which audiences are invited to walk through and around, and to immerse themselves in these stories.
