Interaction Prison Quilt Project in the Café – – – come add your stitch

The Prison Quilt Project’s goal was to provide a space for incarcerated Vermonters to reflect on and share their experience of incarceration, while also tapping into the healing and transformational power of telling their stories through art. As the project developed, it became important to expand the project to include the hands of the community that will welcome these incarcerated individuals home.

Interaction invites you to join them in the hand-stitching of the quilt in the Co-op café on Wednesday, July 29th, 2-4 pm.

The piecing of the quilt by incarcerated community members and the subsequent hand-quilting of the quilt by community members outside the prison both reference an essential function of Interaction’s restorative reentry programs: to foster relationships and thereby the successful reintegration of incarcerated community members into our community.
