About This Exhibition
A new exhibit is gracing the walls of Margaret Jewett Hall. "When Women Succeed: The Quilted Path" is a multi-disciplinary and public fiber art project. This exhibit is the result of PowerUp workshops and events that center on recovery efforts from Boston’s substance use community conducted with the extraordinary women of the City of Boston Recovery Service residence, Entre Familia.
The project was created by L'Merchie Frazier, Boston Artist-in-Residence, mixed-media artist, working with several women who are housed at Entre Familia with their children. The women created poetry and collage activities with thematic designs and layout to build the skills of poetry writing and quilt-making.
First Church in Cambridge is honored to host L’Merchie’s work and that of the women of Entre Familia!
Violence Transformed is delighted to partner with First Church on this event!
