About!

Welcome to Threads of a City!

This is a collaborative design and stitch project for members of Manchester's community and students at Manchester Metropolitan University.

The project is taking place in multiple stages:

Research - Design - Curation - Stitching - Assembly - Exhibition!

We will be combining different aspects of Manchester's history and culture, bringing all these elements together to design a monumental embroidered textiles piece which will be displayed at the reopening of Manchester Town Hall!

We are collaborating with multiple different community groups in Manchester, as well as members of the public and students at MMU, so watch this space to hear about each group and the work we are doing!

Please see our contact page to find out how to get involved!
