लोग साथ आते गए और उम्मीद का कारवां बनता गया..

Co-created with artists of Rafooghar, 'Ummeed ka Karaavan' is an embroidered quilt of hope and dreams.

We invite you to join us as fellow travellers in this caravan of hope by stitching your hopes and dreams to the traveling quilt which will journey from community to community, city to city, country to country throughout 2024. This quilt is being shared with folks from across the world at Participatory Design Conference 2024 in Malaysia and AWID Feminist Forum 2024 in Thailand.

This collaborative project aims to unite communities, fostering connection and solidarity while creating a tangible representation of shared aspirations.

Contribute

We invite you to contribute a square to this travelling quilt from wherever you are!

On a 10*10 inch square blue fabric, stitch an image or word that represents one of your present hopes. Share an image of the fabric clicked on a white background along with a few lines about why this hope is important for you.

Email the image and writeup to us and we will add it to the digital quilt. If you have any questions or are interested to learn more, send us an email at compassioncontagion@gmail.com
