Emplacement
Quilted/Quartier is a project of community quilt-maps that artist Kay Noele working on in Art Hives around Montréal.
It started as a project with neighbours in St-Henri last summer, at La Ruche D'art St-Henri. Pieces of a paper map were replaced with fabric patches over the course of the summer months, and by the time autumn rolled in, Kay collected the pieces and sewed them together. A magical tapestry of neighbourhood, stories, and artistic exploration had formed on the wall.
Folks from all over the city came to the space and admired the project, inviting Kay to come work with their communities to make a series of Quilted/Quartiers. Community quilts are being worked on all over the city! Below are a list of the locations so far! Please let me know if you are interested in having Quilted/Quartiers come to your community in the coming year!
