Grief and Solidarity Quilt

Analysis / Interpretation / Press / Source

EXCERPT

Flyers taped along Spring Garden Road in Halifax have become quiet calls to action. Watercolour images of flowers, doves, and watermelon slices frame a QR code and an invitation that reads “Nova Scotia Grief and Solidarity Quilt for Palestine.” The posters, placed by textile artist and literacy advocate Kelly Bee, are drawing artists and activists from across the province into a collaborative art project aimed at both healing and resistance. What began as a personal response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has transformed into a growing, provincewide art and fundraising initiative. Bee, who moved from Toronto to Halifax four years ago to be closer to family, describes the project as a response to collective grief and a call for unity.
