The Monument Quilt, New York

In August 21st, 2014 New York City witnessed an historic event: the display of The Monument Quilt, a crowd-sourced collection of thousands of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. By stitching our stories together, we are creating and demanding public space to heal and building a new culture where survivors are publicly supported, rather than publicly shamed. Larger than two basketball courts put together, The Monument Quilt was displayed at Queens Museum as part of Force: Upsetting Rape Culture´s summer 12- city tour across the United States.
