Opening Times

We’re Sew Done is a collection of textile art responses to the harassment and threats of violence that women face in public places everyday. Over 25 members of Aunty Social’s Knittaz with Attitude group have come together to create artworks that respond to real-life incidents of street harassment collected via Blackpool Social Club’s online map.

The exhibition will be on display at Blackpool Central Library from 6 September to 28 October 2021.
