ABOUT THE MONUMENT QUILT
The Monument Quilt, an on-going collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. Written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric, our stories are displayed in city and town centers to create and demand public space to heal. In the Quilt’s final display, it will blanket the National Mall to spell “NOT ALONE.” The Monument Quilt is a project of FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, a survivor led artist collective. FORCE is fiscally sponsored by Strong City Baltimore.
We will be keeping you updated with the growing list of locations in the “Updates” tab. Join one, plan a hike/walk, or do a healing activity on your own!
Email UpsettingRapeCulture@gmail.com to tell us about your meet-up so that we can share.
Accessibility note: We encourage everyone to choose a walk or hike of a distance and difficulty that fits you. If you need an alternative to walking and/or being outdoors, choose an activity that manifests self care and healing for survivors. Some suggestions include (are not limited to) relaxing outside, star-gazing, meditation, painting a picture, or doing stretching exercises.
