The IPOD Young Women's Project (Identify, Plan Organise and Deliver) was an innovative Women's Centre project. A piece of me, a piece of us was crafted in the emotional health programme and made in conjunction with Eden Place Arts Centre. It was inspired by The politics of Chilean Arpilleras exhibition held at the Harbour Museum, April 2008.
The quilt consists of seven individual arpilleras. As the group met over a ten week period, stories were shared and peer support was offered. Each piece offers a window into the life of the young woman who made it and gives an insight into what is important to each of them.
For many of these young women this was their first time working with textiles. Margaret Logue, co-ordinator of the Women's Centre, comments on the positive nature of the process: "It worked very well, women got a lot out of it...[it] was a great achievement."
