The Monument Quilt is an on-going collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. The quilt is designed to build a new culture where survivors are publicly supported, rather than publicly shamed. Written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric, the stories of survivors are displayed in public exhibits to uplift survivors’ voices and create space to heal. To date, over 1,000 collected quilt squares have been displayed in 22 different cities across the US. More info: TheMonumentQuilt.org
