Interfaith + Fashion Open Conversation and Workshop, Wednesday, October 18th, 2023 led by Fiona Dieffenbacher. Participants were invited to read and respond to the written muslin reflections created at the Fashion-Faith: Rituals and Dialogues (FFRD) in March, 2023. They selected those which resonated most, then stitched these onto a larger collective cloth, adding their own responses in thread, embroidered motifs or written word. Conversation flowed throughout the open-ended making session. This larger cloth was reconfigured and displayed in the FFRD Exhibition in 2026.
