Lynn Setterington is a major British textile artist known for her hand-stitched quilts and embroideries. Her research is situated at the intersection of craft and community, social engagement, design and activism and she creates tactile social history documents with groups and communities to interrogate social injustices and celebrate the overlooked and everyday. These sensory cloths provide soft, alternative flexible forms of commemoration, countering the fixed, hard memorials, ubiquitous in many parks, city centers and stadiums. Mary Schoeser is an internationally respected textile and wallpaper historian who has published and curated widely. She has collaborated with many museums over her 40 year career, including the Fashion Textile Museum, London; the V&A - where she is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow - and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
