Create a sash and celebrate our right to vote!
In partnership with SewGreen Rochester, Christ Church, and the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, RoCo will host an artist talk and Sash Memorial workshop on Saturday, July 25. Inspired by the iconic “Votes for Women” sashes worn by Suffragists from 1850 – 1920, the artists, Sew Green staff, and other collaborators invite all community members to create their own, contemporary versions of this historic piece of political ephemera. All are welcome, especially those with little sewing experience. Sashes made at this event will be collected and exhibited in the artists’ larger exhibition, Worn.
This event is organized in conjunction with the multi-site public art installation “Underpin and Overcoat,” both a part of the exhibition “Worn.”
Location: Outside in park next to the Rochester Contemporary Art Center,
