| Exhibition: | Limavady Borough Millennium Community Quilt |
| Description: | This quilt was the fruits of collaboration between Limavady Borough Council, the Community Relations Unit of the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, Women's Institutes, women's groups and community organisations. Comprised of 37 squares, the quilt depicts aspects and scenes of the Borough of Limavady which have deep and lasting memories for the person who created each square and no doubt for the community at large.
This exhibition was part of a continuous series of arpillera and quilt exhibitions hosted by the Verbal Arts Centre in Derry and curated by Roberta Bacic, from 2008 to 2013. Each exhibition, comprised of a piece or pieces created by community groups from different parts of the island, other countries, or individual women, was displayed for a number of weeks before being replaced with a new exhibition. |
