Venue: Parkdale (G3 Gallery at Shirley Burke Theatre)
This exhibition presents a large-scale collaborative textile installation created by artist Juliet D Collins and participants in her Stitch with Sappho workshops during 2026. Through stitched text, layered fabrics and thread, and mixed media elements, the work responds to surviving fragments of Sappho’s poetry.
Inspired by the poet’s fragmented legacy the work explores queer and feminist themes reflecting on what survives and what is lost. Combining personal reflection with collective making, the installation becomes a living portrait of Sappho not as a fixed historical figure, but as a presence that remains relevant today.
