Monument Quilt Exhibition
October 17-November 4, Reeve Steinhilber Gallery 
The Monument Quilt, a project of Baltimore-based survivor collective FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, is a collection of over 3,000 stories created by survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence and our allies, written, painted, and stitched onto red fabric. In the project’s 6 active years, survivor stories literally blanketed highly public, outdoor places to create and demand space to heal, and resist a singular narrative about sexual violence. A photograph of each quilt is archived at app.themonumentquilt.org. The Monument Quilt is the first memorial to survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence. It began in 2013, and over 6 years, the Quilt was displayed 50 times in 33 cities across the US and in Mexico, including at the US-Mexico border. In 2014, local organizers brough the Quilt to Oshkosh and the Fox Valley and added several pieces to the Quilt. After 6 years of organizing, in the 50th and final display in 2019, the Monument Quilt stretched across the National Mall to spell out You Are Not Alone and No Estás Solx in a 3-day, 24-hour healing festival. Over 50,000 people saw the Monument Quilt in person, and hundreds of thousands engaged online. This was the only time that the quilt was displayed in its entirety. Following the 50th and final display, FORCE is now archiving the Monument Quilt, placing each of the 750 blocks in permanent collections around the world, so that these urgent stories from survivors and our allies can continue to be heard and so that the history and legacy of our efforts can be preserved. FORCE seeks to find a home for every single piece of the Monument Quilt, spreading its expressive power. The thousands of survivors who told their stories in the more than 3000 quilts, did so between 2013-2019 — during the MeToo era — illustrating the role of art in creating this dramatic shift in consciousness. Please join us to welcome home the quilt squares that hold survivor stories from the Fox Valley.
