25 MILLION STITCHES: One Stitch, One Refugee. Raising awareness of the global refugee crisis through art
25 Million Stitches, a global community art and activism project, was initiated by California artist Jennifer Kim Sohn, in 2019, to visually document the enormity of the number of refugees in the world and to sustain a concern for the refugees in the minds of global citizens. Over 3,700 stitchers participated- from all 50 states and 37 countries. ArtRage will be exhibiting a selection of the nearly 400 muslin panels that make up the project. More than just a visual exhibit, the installation offers an immersive experience that prompts us to confront the realities of displacement on a profoundly personal level. On view during the USA’s 250th anniversary, this exhibition will honor Syracuse’s identity as a refugee resettlement community while also addressing the USA’s current anti-immigration policies.
