Smith Reynolds Foundation and the Mellon Foundation, Arise Collective presents Stitching Stories Reimagined, transforming a handmade prison awareness quilt into a traveling public art piece. This project honors the voices and experiences of incarcerated women, offering a platform for healing, empathy, and advocacy.
