Welcome to the Middle East Dialogue Quilt Blog!
The Quilt is sponsored by the Public Conversations Project, the Pluralism Project, and the Dialogue Forum. In this blog, the Lead Quilter posts the ongoing development of the quilt, from its beginning at the dialogue meeting through photos of the mandalas and of the quilt in progress, all the way through completion.
Mission:
To use the art form of collaborative quilting to design and build a quilt around the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Initial design of the quilt will involve a dialogue between members of many communities, and construction will be shared among all these groups. This use of hands-on work will inspire conversation on many levels, providing a means of discussing the conflict while focusing on a group project. The quilt, which will be donated to the Friends Meeting House in Ramallah, is intended to be both a visual expression of hope and a message from people of many diverse communities.
