SUMMARY:25 MILLION STITCHES: ONE STITCH\, ONE REFUGEE
DESCRIPTION:25 Million Stitches: One Stitch\, One Refugee was launched by Jennifer Kim Sohn as a global\, participatory art project to address the vast crisis of worldwide displacement. The concept was simple: one stitch of embroidery for each refugee. The project provides a beautifully resonant expression of art activism that raises awareness of the immense scope of people forcibly displaced from their homelands by violence and natural disasters. Since the medium involved basic stitching\, the project was able to attract a very diverse group of participants from 36 countries and from every state in the United States. The culmination of this global community effort resulted in a grand tapestry rich with images\, symbols and messages of solidarity\, hope and community all of which give the viewer a textural way to process and experience the enormity of 25 million people\, the number the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated were refugees when the project commenced in May of 2019. \n\nLocation: CCA Main Gallery\nExhibition Dates: November 12\, 2022 – January 21\, 2023\nExhibition Website: 25millionstitches.com\nExhibition Instagram: instagram.com/25millionstitches\n\n25 Million Stitches\nExhibition Programming:\nSaturday\, November 12\nOpening Reception\n      CCA Members Preview 5-6 pm\n      Keynote Presentation by Jennifer Kim Sohn 6 pm FREE\n      Public Reception 6-8 pm \nSunday\, November 13\, 2 pm and 4 pm\nMaster Chorale of Flagstaff – Safe Harbor: Songs of Refuge & Home\nTickets at: https://coconinoarts.org/events/category/concerts/ \nThursday\, November 17\, 7-8:30 pm FREE\nRobert Neustadt presents “Re-Weaving the Social Fabric: Artisans Beyond Borders” \nSaturdays\, November 19\, December 10 & 17\, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm FREE\n“Community Voices through Digital Humanities: Archiving Personal Histories and the Migratory Experience” three-series workshop \nThursday\, December 1\, 7-8:30 pm FREE\nBjorn Krondorfer\, Ph.D. presents “Home & Identity: The Refugee Experience” panel discussion on global perspectives \nSaturday\, January 7\, 1-4 pm FREE\nTasha Miller Griffith presents “Mindful Mending” workshop for adults and seniors \nThursday\, January 12\, 7-8:30 pm FREE\nErika Hess\, Ph.D. and Robert Neustadt\, Ph.D. present “Learning On-Site: Service Learning and Experiential Education with Refugees in Greece” \nSaturday\, January 14\, 1-4 pm FREE\nTasha Miller Griffith presents “Stitching as Expression” youth workshop \nVisit https://coconinoarts.org/exhibitions/25-million-stitches-one-stitch-one-refugee/ for more details. \nWorkshop space is limited\, registration required
