Call for Entries – ‘Threads of Resistance’

February 8, by Scarlett Burroughs. 6 Comments

    Do you realize how divisive this is? This is the very first line of the challenge, “The Artist Circle presents “Threads of Resistance,” a juried exhibition of work created to protest the Trump administration’s actions and policies.” What the heck? Are you trying to loose half your readers?

    Hello Scarlett! This is a very interesting post and one I would never have known about on my own. I do not think it is something I will do, but I may know someone who just might. So thank you for including such a broad and interesting spectrum of posts on blogs to present for us! Have a great day!

    Do you really think that people come to this site for political views?
    Mercy…

    Great idea. Artists can change the world.

    Is Threads of Resistance only for opposition to the Trump administration? I voted republican for many reasons. Am I happy with what’s going on in our country? No. What I resist is how intolerant, unloving, and uncompassionate people are on both sides of this. For me, quilting is therapeutic and I think this is a great venue for expression of frustration given the current political climate. Is this call for entrants open to all of us, regardless of who we voted for or where we stand?
    Thanks for your reply……

    Good morning Lynn,
    I visited the Threads of Resistance Facebook page this morning to see if I could get an answer for you. It is a protest against Trump policies, not against Trump voters. I agree with you that division on both sides is a problem that deserves attention from needle and thread.

    Of note is a comment from one of organizers on Feb 26 by Sue DiMeglio Russell Kaufman. She says
    “i just really want to emphasize that every person/sewer should feel welcome to express a viewpoint. No one should marginalize themselves for any reason. Let the panel decide what best interprets their mission. Don’t let anything hold you back. I thank you.”

    So, I say go for it Lynn. And I’d love to see your progress.
    Warmly,
    Scarlett Burroughs
