Every word. “My family came here hundreds of years ago to escape religious persecution. We made a good home here as I hope you will. Become a part of our country and blanket us with your hopes and dreams.” “This blanket is as imperfect as our country, but know there are millions of us who wish you well.”Stay well, With love, Janet Welcome Blanket is a participatory project— a platform to use our heads, hearts and histories to welcome our newest neighbors. Thank you Janet, and every person who has touched this project 🥰 #welcomeblanket #artivism #craftingchange #participatoryart #welcomerefugees (fb)

You are amazing! Prepping for our 2nd(!) LAX show and so inspired by the beauty and abundance of the care and creativity of this community! The work will be shown at LAX and then gifted to new immigrants starting a new chapter in the US. #craftivism #welcomeblanket #lax #airportart #exhibitiondesign #craftingcommunity (fb)
