From political propaganda in medieval France to secret treason in Tudor England, from the mothers of the desaparecidos in Argentina to First World War soldiers with PTSD, from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland, Threads of Life is a global chronicle of identity, protest, memory and politics. Banner-maker, curator and community textile artist Clare Hunter chronicles the stories of the men and women who have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate circumstances.
